I like it! Close to what I was thinking but my idea had feet that could slide under the stand. I like it attaching to the legs, adjustable for height!

Will send a pm!

pics of aquascaping - I did move the centre bit out from the back, there are smaller rocks that I just put in and will move once I get more rocks in.

Thanks for looking
