Oh my lord, I would never skip the sealer. No point in the whole project if you skip the sealer. But what else would you make panels from? Any hardwood will warp and isn't nearly as easy to work.

Fishytime, you are a carpenter aren't you? What would you have done? I was gonna seal it and lacquer it. I wasn't trying to cut corners... I want a superior product in the end, knowing very well it would cost me. I don't think the mdf was much cheaper than 3/4" ply anyway.

This is also for a fresh tank and nothing should be able to penetrate the lacquer in the end anyway. I've seen 2398732487234 retail mdf stands that are only covered in a cheap veneer that have never swelled to the point where they needed to be replaced.
