Did you decide on the stand yet? It’s beautiful but I can’t say whether or not it’s structurally sound or safe. Possibly could be reinforced. I’ve seen others reinforce really cheap (cost and quality wise) ikea cabinets for smaller tanks.

I agree that stand could be reinforced. It actually not a bad way to do things instead of building the whole thing from scratch.

Upgrade build is as much a build as any other! I do love the stand you chose, have always liked the look of those.
