nice stand...im going to use your thread to try and make me the same stand for a 100gallon plexi tank. The only different approach i will take, is im going to try the low profile look. I was thinking maybe 12 - 18 inchs max for height of stand.
Low stands are great, but I've never liked the low flow you get when trying to siphon out water. If you build it that short, make sure to get a pump to help with water changes.
