Show me your cool tank stand!

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Here is mine:

It all starts with an idea:

Then the fun begins:

Stand has a granite top.

Finished product:

For what it is worth this is how it all started

Stand frame is 1" thin wall tubing.
Skin of stand is distressed oak hardwood flooring material.
Any wood exposed to inside of stand is covered with PVC.
Bottom of frame has a 3" tall PVC flood pan with flush mount drain point that discharges into my crawl space.
All three sides are removable for full access to inside of stand.
I'm using a Cerebra controller (please let's not fight about that), but I think the way I installed it is good looking.
Hope you enjoy my journey.

Love it!

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.

That is too cool!!

Here's an example of a peninsula stand I recently completed. This is my first adventure in to the saltwater world. All the panels are actually removable for full access on both sides. I did this in lieu of doors for easier access.

Really nice job.

Easier to ask for forgiveness sometimes.

I did a combination of that on some of the more major joints and also pocket screws to stabilize everything
