Next was the top. Just laid the stand on top of the 1/2 inch plywood and marked/cut it: Screwed to the frame:

Here are those pictures..... sorry for the wait. Disclaimer: This is a guy drinking beer on the weekend in his garage building stuff! I am by no means an expert. Hope these help with your project. This is the frame stand. The tanks frame is 18-1/2 by 48-1/2 so I made the frame 19-1/2 by 49-1/2...

OK.... I used to work for AP and have been to A-Town many times..... Good luck with your search...

....wouldn't happen to be an Air Products reunion would it??

Cool, thanks I am putting a CL on my new tank and am looking for a quality, but QUIET, pump....

Hi Andy, No special foods, I just feed flake to the fish and scrape the algae off the glass every couple of days with the magfloat. They feed off all the stuff that is floating around in the water. I also only have 5 - NO - 40 watt bulbs on that tank, must be enough light. I did add...

msd2, what pump are you using in your closed loop? Is it the Quiet One you mentioned in another post? Thanks

There's not really any plans... I just build things as I go... I do have a bunch of pictures that I will post here once I get them all re-sized. Unfortunately my customers seem to want priority this week! I hope to get them up either today or tomorrow... Thanks

Thanks for the compliments!! This tank will not be set up for a couple months yet, and when it is it will be a direct transfer from the 55 reef. Still have work to do on the sump, closed loop etc., etc.... not to mention new carpet has to be installed first!

Completed canopy - new tank - completed stand:

....btw, I bought the 90 gallon tank today, looks great on the stand...

Hi guys, Not ignoring you, I am just getting the pictures sized up and trying to finish up the canopy. I will get the pictures of the assembly up soon.... Thanks for your compliments, Chris

Looks like nerite snail eggs to me....

Yes, that is Santorini.... never been, but love the colors so I painted a picture of it... My wife's family is from Mykonos so some day we may get there...

The big one... 6 foot X 5 foot:

Also, another reason I really wanted the white was because I also paint pictures, and these two are in the room where the tank will go. The white stand/canopy kinda draws all the Greek thing together...

Yep, putting the hood together now.... Next step is to convince the wife I need a new 90 gallon tank to put it all together!:yes: I'll get those pictures organized and post them so you can see the different steps.. Thanks

Thanks Guys... The materials for this stand cost me about $130.00. I took pictures of the assembly sequence and will post them later if anyone wants to give it a go. I enoy building my own stuff, so to me this was a great project.. C-ya

Thanks everyone for your input and suggestions. After staining a test piece I just wasn't happy with the results so went with the white. Thanks again for your input:

Originally posted by Squidd :notsure: So in essence are you saying the stain will make the stand "less interesting" and no one will want to look at it...?? I would think the intricate grain pattern would draw the eye more than a solid color...:thinking: And once they "zone in" on the wood...
