nexxt i had to choose a stand and lucky me i have this lamp that is juusssssssst shy of the tanks dimensions, the stand is a square lamp almost the exact same size as the tank . it has a shade and is built out of wood but needed to be painted so i painted it black.


basically this is the lamp i had taken off the shade so i can paint it.




the shade has an asia type design on it and is white it slips down into the wooden frame.







and yes the light does actually work:










next i painted the stand black and added some egg crate which is what the tank will sit on, the egg crate still needs to be painted black before the saltwater fill and plumbing happens:


not the best pic in the world but trust me 100% improvement lol







now with the stand painted and the tank drilled i got to making the pedastel for inside the tank
