Well we just purchased a new house at the beginning of December and have finally gotten somewhat situated. I found a 125g tank on clearance at a local fish store for right at 300$ brand new and couldn't pass it up. They wanted 900 for stand + canopy which I just balked at. I've never been a much for carpentry/woodworking but figured now would be just as good a time as any. I went out and picked up a 10" ryobi miter and switched out the stock blade with a 60 tooth fine blade. Had a lot of other things to get done today, so will grab the lumber next week if things go well. if the stand build goes well, wife already has asked me to build us a new entertainment center
