Haha yea I don't like wine either, well the next day. It's for my wife. My beer fridge is in the garage. Stand was built by a cabinet company. There is no holes at all drilled in to the stand. The panels all screw to each other and than corner peices are placed over the screws. The top is a 3/4 piece of plywood. It's wider than my door so I had to assemble it in my house. It's pretty heavy. The steel stand is 188lbs and the wood is maple so I'm not sure what that weighs.

Well, I like it! It's very well done! Wish I'd thought of doing mine before placing the tank on top but I'm not a very patient person and wanted to get it going...

A wine cooler for the wife is always a very smart addition

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. I've got some pics but it really does it no justice. It does look good in person. Using a Fujifilm XP snappy. I dont know anything about settings The colors lool like crap in these pics.
I have my aquascape in a kind of U shape and it's pretty much all a big cave of sorts, lots of tonga rock in there.
