Well I finally had a chance to finish the stand this weekend. Here are some shots of the process;
Added nose pieces to create an overhang for drinks.
Here I added some Hardi Backer for the tiles.
I decided to do black granite tiles for the top and front nose with a chrome schluter edge.
Made a front and side panel to match the existing theme and trim color throughout our house.
I have not decided if I want to add a canopy or not yet.... For now it will stay this way. Hope you all like. Comments are welcome.

Cheers
Lawrence
OH BTW... When we were moving all of the rock over from the old tank to the new we found these hiding in a rock..... YIKES!!! This brings the crab count to 11 in total from the old rock (Only 40 lbs).
We bannished these guys to the sump!!!!
