Stand looks great.....you might be surprised at what some people are willing to pay for a quality piece of aquarium furniture.

Thanks , I would have to perfect the design and cut out all miss cuts and find a way to do the work quicker to make it cost effective. I've worked on this on my spare time for about a week now. Not to mention this is a stand that would only take a 36"lx 18"foot print or something custome to take up the whole stand dims. in that cause the hood would have to be rebuilt.

I have finally finished the stand and set up the tank as a holding tank for when I take my home tank down.
