I am going to need to add a molding around the top of my stand to cover the plywood the aquarium is built on . Does any one know where I can get maple moldings ? I checked Home Depot all they have is pine and oak . I built my stand out of maple plywood and I want it to match as closely as I can get it .

I am considering moving my tank to another location . Where my tank sits now is great for viewing and structurally its not going anywhere. The new tank will limit access to the basement and from a style point of view its all wrong the tank is siting rite in front of a window.
 Every outside wall in my home has large windows the only other location has less reinforced structure the joist are running with width the tank providing less support. There is a large manufactured support beam to the side of the tank that I think should provide enough support . The total weight of the tank and stand should be about 1500 lbs . The basement is finished so there is no adding extra support . What do you guys think am I over thinking this ?

Congrats on the upgrade...you'll love it!
As for positioning...I think you be looking at more than 1500lbs but I think that the spot should be okay. I'm not an engineer though.

You've got that large beam and the entire back of the tank is up against the load-bearing exterior wall. I suspect you're fine but keep an eye on that cat
