thanks mike, funny thing is it cost me $00.00 lol minus some small hardware.... i do renovations for a living and after putting a pile of money into my last stand with all kinds of fancy hardwoods as soon as it was finished it was sold , so this time no way lol i kept it simple to finish it fast and instead of going with the average wood grain stands i went with a very cool color green and trimmed it plain jain.i find it looks sweet when theres little to it and leaves more to viewing the tank plus i gotta say the misses loves it, all the materials i had in the garage plus paint trim etc...... right over the window is where my apex display will be mounted with velcro and after tonight you wont be able to see any more wires as they are getting "fished lol" through the framing or pvc fastened to the stands ceiling

thanks laurie the green doesnt show up to well in the photo but its very nice im getting "reefwars reef" done in black cool writing right over the window, im finally getting it cleaned up inside it looks like a wiring jungle lol but i just finished hooking it all up to the apex and ran the wires through the stand so alls good and away from water. right now im installing a gfci and as it will stand when it will be done is there will be a tiny wire coming out the bottom on one side of my stand for my apex to my router and on the other side will be another small hole for my apex power bar to the gfci other than that there wont be a cord to be seen or ran outside of the stand
