My husband just looked on-line at different stands, went into lfs and looked at those and then started building. He drew a very rough draft of the project, but no real "plan" to speak of. He does have a background in construction though, and his dad made our doors. We made sure, before the stand was finished, that we would be able to pull the sump out the door opening and then also get the skimmer out without pulling the sump out. So our stand is actually taller then the ones in the lfs, which I like. You can look at the tank in a normal standing position and yet still see it well while sitting down. I think the ones in the lfs are to short.
