Thanks, the stand is made out of 3/4" cedar plywood with black brush steel plastic laminate and solid surface (Corian) tops.

I like this idea!

I like this idea!

Thanks ! The stand has two equipment cabinets on both sides, a lot of space for calcium reactor, ATO reserve, dosing pumps, battery backups, supplement bottles, etc. There are no doors on the front, just a removable panel. The construction is so sturdy that there is no need for a center brace below the aquarium, complete open space to work with the sump !

This is another custom cabinet I made, it has recessed Apex display and modules / supplement cabinet.

This is my work in progress. I still have to build removable front and side panels that will be held magnetically.







Canopy


Front panel is magnetically held on

Nice! I've just finished a frame Using the same plan. Is that compartment on the left side of the tank for electronics? I've been trying to figure out where to put mine. If it is, could you tell me how you did it?

 

[benapilot]

Yes, it is. It's a 1/4" plywood panel with some 3/4" trim pieces nailed to the front leg and again to the top horizontal piece. I'll get some more pictures on here tonight or tomorrow when I get home.

Very inspiring tanks! I'm needing to make a canopy for the LED's I'm putting above my 55g and probably take some ideas from this thread!

Thanks!

Not much better than the pics I had before, but you can see where I'll hang my electronics...

This is still a work in progress...
