Here's my 120. It has a stainless steel frame inside the stand with a 2 inch tray for any leaks that may occur. On the canopy the front opens up as well as the sides pop off.

this is freaking gorgeous.. well done sir :first:

This is my own personal stand built by myself, octo is hand cut, stained glass behind using tank lights, bottom lit by fuge light.
I built a 2x frame and the cabinet is freestanding, I canslide the whole thing out to get to gear if needed, w/out any obstruction.
Wood is African mahogany.

Nice stand! I have a metal stand too. What material do you have between your stand and tank? Also, what material are you using between the tank and the ceramic floor? Is that a cermaic floor?

Thanks!

Ron

Between the stand and the tank is insulation foam and 3/4 birch which will level out any differences in the tank. This removes any stress points on the tank itself.

And between the metal and the ceramic floor ( you are correct) is a 1/8" treadmill mat. I chose this because it is pours and has mold inhibitors.

Hope this helps.
