shot in the dark here...
 

i remember seeing a picture of the most beautiful tank stand/cabinet with a display refugium in the bottom corner built into it and thought it would be nice to try to replicate that. problem is i can't for the life of me remember where i saw it and was wondering if anyone knows what i'm talkin about or where i can find that pic again!!

thanks for the compliments, i'm flattered. sorry there are no capital letters, typing with one hand and holding my newborn in the other.

yay! that is it! :eek: very nice setup i must say...did you build that on your own or is it a custom made stand? i would be very interested if you had any info or plans on how i could do the same. :mrgreen:

Wow Des,that IS gorgeous!! Unique idea,love it!

And a newborn?? Congrats!! :biggrin:

it was just a standard metal stand and I skirted it and built the canopy myself. it was my very first wood project. the skirt was easy, just magnets and moulding. the doors are just cut-outs with moulding and magnets hold the panels in. the canopy was a little harder, a little more planning so that the halides fit with full access.

hope this helps.

but the 25 will be up for sale as soon as I get the stand finnished for the 45, but that is after I finnish the other junk I have to build for other people first :mrgreen:
