A bit of progress. Frame for the stand is built. Mostly.

Nice!! Wanna have a race to see who finishes their build first?... Oh wait,... 6 weeks?... you win.

Hey look, a picture

Curious why you put verticles in the back center ?

I'm going to mount the plywood for the light assembly do these braces. The board will extend above the tank and the light box will mount to it.

Look at the link I posted earlier to one of Brett's builds, I'm going to use a similar method for my lights

Cool, some planning is involved
I thought that only happened in the epic long-term builds

I looked at the link you have, but it only went to his empty tank with nothing else for hardware showing ...

This is the only pic I found on the page you linked

Go to the next page, where he shows his light slides.

And not to be nit-picky (I know you used to work construction), but also wondering why you didn't criss-cross the outer corner verticles over the base runs

Am I not seeing something in your pic ?

You're just being not-picky I don't feel it's needed. This is pretty much the same construction that's been holding my 180 for 4 years. Most people way over build, and usually not needed. External plywood will prevent any lateral shifting. Glued and screwed.

Get ready for the 'ya but'.
