Great thread, I wish I was done but this is what is where I'm at.
1. partially completed stand and new tank
2. Stand structurally complete (except feet)
3. trying on the canopy frame
4. sheathed with finished 3/16" plywood
I plan to trim it out tomorrow, the doors come last as I can position the stand and begin cycling as i complete the doors, sump/fuge and VHO's for the canopy.

dude, no s**t! This stuff takes me forever. I love the planing and the final result, but the rest is work. I enjoy woodworking and it's all worth it in the end, it just takes me a lot of time. I'm glad my fish are patient.
