Bowfront Experience?

Just wondering if any of you guys or gals had any experience building a stand for a bow front. I guess it must be kinda tricky.
Thanks!

yeah.. i did for my 155.. it wasnt that hard... but then agin my stand isnt all to perfect.. he he.. but then agin i wanted a smooth look.. noo doors showed at all... it's really hard to discribe but i used 2x4s, 3/4'' playwood, 2 4'x8' lawan (sry i dont know how it's spelled, a big peice of cardbord to trace the top of my 155 bf to use as template and i cut, nail and glued away.. i cant really explain how i did it but use a carbord templat.... it's easier...

My brother did a canopy for his 72,and he took the original stand and made it deeper, so he could use a 40 gallon breeder for a sump. Looks good, and you cant even tell that it is the original stand. The best part is that his reactor, and refuge sit right behind the main tank, and not under the stand. Very easy to work on.
