It's pretty heavy. The steel stand is 188lbs and the wood is maple so I'm not sure what that weighs.
That's why I went with aluminum . mine weights 20lbs max

A wine cooler for the wife is always a very smart addition

Modification of an old saying:

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. I've got some pics but it really does it no justice. It does look good in person. Using a Fujifilm XP snappy. I dont know anything about settings The colors lool like crap in these pics.
I have my aquascape in a kind of U shape and it's pretty much all a big cave of sorts, lots of tonga rock in there.

Looks fantastic! And just a heads up, with LEDs you will likely be messing with your camera's settings for the rest of time. After 2 nearly 2 years and 3 cameras I've still yet to take a picture of my tank that I feel captures how it actually looks in person. Blue LED diodes are kryptonite to camera sensors.
