SteveO.... you are just down the road in Clermont. Im in Howey if you ever want to come check it out.

The 60 cube has a hanging led box over it. I made a "lamp shade" to hide the light. Its the brown circular wooden thing over the tank.
 
Didn't even see where you were. The pics hide it very well
 
Last year when I was getting ready for my wedding, my son (8 at the time) decided he was going to help me out in the middle of the night and run a hose to my sump and turn on the water. Needless to say, it destroyed my old stand along with lots of damage to the house. Thankfully, my home insurance covered a replacement for the stand as well as the rest of the repairs. I had to pay a total of $500 out of pocket for $5,000 in damage. Not bad. To get to my stand, I had a local cabinet maker make me a stand. He's never done this before and was excited for the challenge. It was well built and I'm very proud of it.

Excuse the mess. We we getting everything placed back. The tank it is for is a 155 gallon bowfront. I now have my sump in a dedication room I built in the garage, where everything is plumbed to.

Here's my new tank before I put water in it. It's a standard 120, and the stand is about 7.5' long. The extra space on the left holds the ATO res, and the space on the right holds the electronics.

A cherry stand and clam shell hood I built for a dentist office. They wanted a book shelf for kids toys on one end.

Here's a stand I've been toying with for my 180gal. I'm new to salt but I'm a bit handy with tools.

The smaller stand to the left houses an ATO tank and my chiller will also set on top.

The glass has all been printed an will be back lit.
Been working slow on this build. Wanna do it as right as I can.
