So I put in the order for my new tank through oceanic corals the other day so now it's time to build a stand for my tank

Im doing all wood construction as I'm too lazy to go into work on my time off to build a stand out of steel

All I knew is I want it to be white


So now I need inspiration on what to build

I'm lazy too Tyler. My stands at the cabinet maker as we speak. Should be done in 3 weeks. It supposed to match my kitchen cabinets. Hope so.

My 180G Tank and Stand

These are pictures of my tanks and stands. My 180G tank and my 125G tank

Both tank stands are built on a framework of 2X4's, 2X6's and 2x8's

The Oak facade's are then pin tacked to the frame work.
The cabinet doors were purchased from a Kitchen Cabinet MFG.
