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!!

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.

still there, actualy after running it with the 25 in the bottom for 2 years I decided to put a door there and put the 25 as a seperate tank. got to tired of lying on the floor looking at it.. people were starting to talk

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
