Well luckily my wall blocks it from the kitchen so it looks seamless.

My gf is going to get fabric from micheals to wrap around the blocks so it looks solid. Good idea.

thats what I was thinking of ,I GOT A BRAND NEW 75 for$ 120 ,so I THOUGHT ...PUT TOGETHER a stand for $30(cinder block),use existing gravel and filtration , new heater $30,that makes it a brand new set up for under$ 200 ...I think I'LL GO THAT WAY...RATHER THAN A USED...all wood stand..... sorry to op for hi-jacking thread...:) black or dark blue canvas might look nice on yours...
 
Sounds solid to me, BTW my stand was only 16-18$ but there bigger then regular cinder blocks, I have 9 and the 2x2 keep it rigid, trick is making sure its level!

She said using velcro would be the easiest route since you can access the stand easier, she worked at micheals so she's crafty lol. I'm just gonna silicone it on the blocks themselves!
