    Centerpiece tank - check out my design!

    HI, Yes, the dimensions are exactly what I requested...48" on all three sides, and 34.5" tall ( originally was gpoing to be 36", but changed it at the last minute because it would not have fit through the door! )..I hope to start building the stand soon! I'll upload more pics when available. Thanks
