It looks like expensive crown. I remember how expensive it was when we trimmed out my kitchen cabinets. It will look great on the stand!

Now we run into complications: My dad started the stand with out me and there is not enough room for my 55g to fit underneith as a sump. How hard is it to make a custom tank with either glass or acrylic and where can i get the materials?

hckycoz,
If you take the legs down to a single 2x4 width all the way around and use cripplers for each leg, would that give you enough room for your 55 gal sump or is it the 48" length the issue.

Just to be sure we are talking about the same thing.... The cripple stud is the short one under the top and between the bottom frame (bottom frame not in the pic). These are used in your home to support headers over doorways and windows, etc....

I built a stand for my 75 and made it where my 29 fit under it so I can see both of them My 75 is a fish only and my 29 is my coral tank
