Here is the 110 Gallon stand I built this weekend. I think it looks pretty good. This is not a normal stand because it doesn't have hinged doors. The doors are actually one piece that alows a massive access hole. Have a look and let me know what you think.
BTW. I can build and sell these cheaper that any LFS. (and they're better quality) If your interested, let me know.

Nice, what did it cost you to make it? Thinking about making a new stand for my 75 just need to get the time. I want a removable side panel so I can get a 55 under the stand for my sump :).

Nice job, love the doors; both the mortise work and all one piece.
Keep us posted when you finish it.

She sure is a perty stand. She'll make someone very happy! :grinno:
 
Actually...in the case of this stand, it is finished. This one was bought under the assumption the buyer would stain/paint it themselves.

Thanks to all for the comments. It is appreciated.:headbang2
