A drop in the bucket for an established 180 gallon tank. Do it right the first time... trust me on that!

the main issue I had when cutting the wood was I was using a standard circular saw instead of the table style saw

You'll want as much room behind the tank as you can get, as it just makes it easier to work on. I'd recommend pulling out those shelves.

Pretty wise move... I didnt even start building the stand before I had the tank at the house. I did not want to redo it for that reason.

The reason for the high wrap around the stand is because I want to cover the deep sand bed...it will come up right to the top of the sand.
