Stand and Canopy


I'm very excited I finally got my stand and canopy almost finished.

The stand was built for a 120 gallon tank - ( dimensions 48" x 24" )

The stand dimensions are : 48" wide x 24" deep x 36" high. The stand is open in the back for plumbing and air circulation inside the stand. This should help improve water oxygenation, and heat disipation.

I'll post the material list and cost soon!

Note that I used 2"x 4" in the front to match the front of the stand when everything is ready...

stand and canopy with panels. I designed the stand with a door on the left side. There is no other way to get the sump in there. Plus it gives more choices to mess up with what's going to be in there soon.
