I'm really bad at taking pictures and updating progression on things of this nature BUT, here we go anyways.
The tank is a 45 gallon oceanic tech tank. w/built in overflow and 1/2" three sided starfire glass panels.
The stand was built for about 200 bucks complements of my dad thanks old man
He built it out of oak skinned plywood, a solid oak board for trim and some oak corner molding. We used a light coat of cherry stain and rubbed in a TON lof linnseed oil to give it a nice shine and preserve the wood. The white doors are from ikea 12 dollars w/hardware included, how could I say no to that ....We may change them later on down the road but they work for now I kind of like the white doors on it.
(he built this with a framing skillsaw, router, hammer and hardware, i guess forty+ year of being a carpenter pays off when the son needs a tank stand)
Together they stand about 5 feet tall, i didn't like the height at first but it has grown on me already in the few hours that I have had it.
