For the stand consider just using 1/4" acrylic doubled up, easy to find and cheap. For a professional touch rough cut it to shape to of the skimmer base then use a router with a triple fluted trim flush bit to trace it flush to match the base.
Send me the base I can do it for you. Otherwise call laser impressions in Saskatoon and they'll laser cut it for you. CNC will be much more money.

Thanks Steve. I sent out a couple emails but I will give them a shout tomorrow and see what they can do for me.

Thanks Greg, I have been fairly selective on equipment. I am trying to maximize my systems reliability. I am 95% sure I am going to use the RD3 speedy pumps for the return and manifold.

The cabinetry is close to done. There are some big corrections that need to be made but you can get the overall idea. The gap in the doors on both the snake tanks and aquarium top need to be backed so there is no light leak. The lower brace on the aquarium top needs to be altered so I don't lean on it when I get into the tank from the front. Countertops need to be installed. Blah blah blah. Carpets were to be installed on wednesday but they double booked and bounced us to next week.

On a side note, I am tired of dealing with contractors that don't seem to care.

Enjoy!

That's an awesome looking set up, very modern feel to it. With the new carpets it should freshen up the room...
