If you want a 55-80 gallon tank, then half your money is gone right off the bat. The rest is gone on cheap lighting. I'd suggest saving more.

73" X 19" X 36"

Stand is almost finished. All the wood is cut for the sides and top, but I thought leaving it off would make it easier to transport. Still need to do the doors and stain, but we're getting there.

If I wanted to do a DIY LED light setup, how many lights would I need? The tank is 72" x 18" x 22"

Going to build my own sump, and need a 3/8" x 4' x 8' sheet of Cell Cast acrylic for the tank. Anybody know of any good dealers?

Pictures would help.

I'm using a dark cherry stain and it's plywood.

Which wood should I put around my stand? Birch on top, oak on bottom

Almost finished with the frame. Took a nap and then ran out of screws so I couldn't finish. Back at it Wednesday. Looking good so far I think... Keep you posted. Sorry, I took it with my camera phone.

I guess my biggest question is, how much do I need? Can I get away with 4 48" lights? That would be 2 white and 2 blue right?

please...

I'm about to kick a puppy. I can't find what I need, mainly because I have no clue what I need. I don't want an entire unit, since I have a canopy. I want to do a DIY deal. Can somebody tell me what brands are best and what parts I need to look for?
