That is a beautiful stand. Makes me reconsider having my next tank in wall!My DIY project was my stand.
Wow...My entire 1600 gallon system build has been one massive DIY project and I am very proud of all my work.
Sounds like you're off to a good start for you DIY future!I don't have any DIY on this build yet. Except the frame that holds the light up and the "sump".
I'll be adding a DIY external fuge and possibly a DIY frag tank when everything else is complete
Did you glue those or use magnets? If you don't mind me asking.My floating pukani rocks.

And hey, a sump is a sump. One of the nicest tanks I've seen in person had a big Rubbermaid tote sump!
Electronics is where I draw the line. Like, I had a hard time wiring the ballast for my retrofit. I would love to eventually get to the point that I feel comfortable building lights and dosers and whatnot. I am just currently so inept that it's going to take time to learn, a lot of time...I built a wifi 6 channel doser controller from scratch with a website for controlling it.
The brain is a particle photon and the unit works with any 12v-24v peristaltic dosing pump (just not steppers yet).
I am envious of you fish room... ;MehMy whole system is a lot of DIY and I am Proud of it. Certainly not going to win any beauty contest but it is extremely effective, durable, modular, and less costly.
See my build, "Bif's Reef" in the SPS section.
how much weight is your canopy? what type of pipe are you using to hold up the canopy?Mine would have to be my T5 retrofit/floating canopy (which there seem to be a lot of floating around ). What else have people done that they can say they are proud of? I know there's one user on here *ahem* @Clayton Jessup that has a lot of sweet stuff going on. Anyone else?

If I had to guess I'd say it weighs 35 lbs. I used 1/4" electrical conduit that's been painted black. If knew I was going to actually be putting weight on the thing I would've gone with 1/2". Lol it's bends pretty bad...how much weight is your canopy? what type of pipe are you using to hold up the canopy?
