I will post some pics when I get home.I used a lot of 2x4 woodglue and screws to hold the stand together.The tank sits on a 1 inch sheet of foam board.The stand has been very solid so far and I used a sealer on the inside of the tank to water proof it.I plan to dress it up in the near future (I do things backwards).I used a good quality plywood ( russian birch) and I originally wanted to stain it but I prefer to use some kind of deco brick or rock,maybe even tile I will see.I have seen some nice stands that people have made.I was going to make a metal stand but my friends had mentioned wood will be better.

Just curious, why do you have your BRS reactor hanging on the display?

Welcome to Canreef. That's a good-sized SW pond you got there.

Hi Steve,
Looking good love your fish selection so far,
I would have one thing to suggest to you and that would be to put some more vertical supports into your stand in the corners at to aid sure your tank does not delaminate at the ends.
