Ok so I bought the Wood for the stand I'm going to be going with Birch. Thought that i would try something different. Got together with my buddy who is allowing me to use his shop. Came up with a plan and a drawing He would let me use the shop unless I had a vision in my head and something on paper.

He knows me to good. The Stand will have access through the front however I will be using Rare earth magnets to hold the front on plus to latches for safety. I'm going to be having a feed door on the left side so im not always in the top Hmmmmmmmmmm like that is going to stop me.

The stand will 78" high and then 4" piece of crown molding shelf lick will be on the top.
I'm hoping to have this stand done by end of the month. The Reason I placed my order for 5 Small yellow tangs, 1 chevron tang, and a Tommi Tang. So I want to have them in the tank before I add (
LIPS AKA sailfin)
and (
@ss AKA KOLE) and well LULU she just don't care and man she is getting fat close to 1.5" fat and 5"
I'm going to paint the inside of the hood white with bathroom to seal it. and its going to be stained on the outside just haven't figured out what.
Well I will have build pictures tomorrow
