Without the actual lid here is it all unfinished. Painted ones will be up in the next day or two when I get time. :D

There is actually three fronts if you want to get picky.. ;) smart a$$

Here is a shot with the lid trim all on. forgot that one.. lol

Marc,

The broken skimmer.. hmmm.. Haven't touched it yet. Still to mad. May have to cut out the fitting, glue a new piece of acrylic overtop of the hole with new PVC fittings installed in that. .

Darren, are there doors on the stand or just a removable piece?

DJ88 · #26 05-31-2002, 12:37 PM

One solid door Troy, Much easier access to the whole stand.

I agree. Cherry wood is $$$ but I was looking at some nice wood that stains nice. I wish I did it that way on my current stand.

If the wife ever finds a job I am purchasing a 60G tank. I will custom the stand and stain it red. My brother will be welding me the metal stand and then like Darren I would mount the wood to the stand. Darren hope you don't mind me stealling your idea. I will like to get some up close picture on how you did everything at a later date.

Cheers,
Patrick

Darren,

IS that the natural finish or will you change it at a later date?

the stand really makes the system look good.

In my final system I hopping for a Wild Cherry colour or something like that.

Cheers,
Patrick

Patrick,

Once the sealant dries I will be painting it the same speckle paint as the rest of the stand.

Patrick, you'd have to go with a more expensive plywood for a cherry stain but when your time comes I can point you in the right direction. On the other hand you could go with a fir or spruce plywood and just stain to your choice. Personally, I like birch and actual cherry would be fantastic but pricey.
