I bought a sheet of plywood an I got my door all made up too. I need to start work on putting the overflow in the tank and start figuring out the canopy.

I'm selling my truck and gonna buy a car with cash, so I'm keeping the tank budget really tight right now so I can save up as much money as possible before the truck goes. I may not work on the stand for awhile.

Ok, I did some work today. A little anyway.
2 sheets of standard grade 3/4" plywood $50. 2 lbs of 1 3/4" screws $8. I glued and screwed the plywood on. Gotta cut my doors out now, and put the top on, and the lower shelf. I have the plywood cut for the canopy too, but it's not put together yet. I'm trying to decide if I still want to go with doors on three sides or not. I did want it for easier access to the Banger grow out tanks in there, but now I'm not doing that. It will just be a 25g sump, so I'm not sure I need the three doors. BUT, I already have the hardware, and when I move the stand I'll be able to take the doors off and the tank will be a bit lighter. This stand is HEAVY!!!

Nice...I know what you mean by heavy...why do we do that to ourselves? It looks good. Wouldn't it have been easier to cut out the doors before you mounted the plywood?

Not in my books, but I had to square up the framing anyway, so it was easier to pry on it with full sheets than if I cut the centres out it may have been a bit floppy. I had to stand on it to pry it enough to square it up.
