Lol I was thinking the same thing! @Sevitz5 it looks great, and you put the grain the right way on the front! I swear 75% of DIY stands I see are the other way. It doesn't technically make any difference strength wise but it still drives me nuts! Edited May 3, 2019 by Muttley000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevitz5 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Yea, I’m pretty sure this stand is overkill, but I literally have about $60 in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sevitz5 Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 The tank is drilled and home, as well as a frag tank and manifold. Muttley000 and crimsonvice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishoutofwater Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Just curious, is the closet just behind where the tank is going? Is the sump going to be too high on that tall of a stand for flow? I’m looking at sump placement options myself, so that’s why I’m seeing and asking this. My overflows come out the bottom so my options are pretty much below tank in stand or out of stand lol.

I made the legs on the stand so I can cut them off to lower it once I find out the height of my plumbing. Realistically it’s probably going to be about 6” lower Muttley000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevitz5 Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Well I finally got a little time to work on the stand today. I finished trimming it out and got it primed. I just need to prime the doors and it is ready to paint black and move into the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevitz5 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Progress on the stand, I have the glass in the doors, just going to apply fish theme cutouts to the glass then frost the glass and pull the cutouts back off. I think it will look good. crimsonvice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
