A few months back I bought a 135G tank and stand from mike (eh1421). Its been sitting in my living room, and I can't set it up until I move. (I know.. I really want to)
Anyways, it was stained a pretty light color, and just not my style. The stand design is pretty cool, and I'm excited to set up a 55Gal under it. Heres some pics of when he first made it.
I think the tank first belonged to rallysman.
I am tearing down the paneling and adding birch plywood which will be stained a much darker color. I am also re-doing the access door for the 55Gal. I am planning on making a canopy for the tank, although I really don't want to buy another sheet of plywood. I am going to match the current trim on the tank and see how it looks, but I have a feeling next to the birch it won't look too good. In that case, I will be buying molding to replace the current trim.
Had fun ripping the paneling off and removing about 100+ brad nails. The plywood is cut and the stain is drying. I'm gonna put atleast 2 coats of polyurethane on, and then hopefully it looks nice. I also am going to need some corner trim.
