Been working on this for quite some time. Got the stand done about a year ago and have been sitting with out doors since. It has been driving me nutts so I final made some time to finish them. If I had known about this forum prior I would have documented more. When I build the canopy I will take lots of pictures along the way. For now I will up load some of it as is. It is a work in progress, you will notice some dings in the tank, it is still very sturdy, it is from 1986 so it has seen some use. It took me bit of time to match the stain to the frame of the tank. Reguires 3 total coats of 2 different color stains, I am happy though with the color then 5 coats of sealer sanding in between each coat. Once I hang all doors later tonight I will update with those photos. The darker corner shot shows the true color the other shots are too bright.

Well I got the doors hung! Here are a few pictures, I also included a picture of my Polypterus senegalus. Just got 4 of them, still only 2 inches long. The picture of the dog is to show you all what happens if I do not finish the stand:WHOA:!!!

Nice tank and stand! Like the detail/trim on the stand! Like your "motivator" too! LOL!
 
Looks absolutely fantastic. I love the trim moulding.
 
Thank you all for you feed back. Now that I have the doors up all I can think about is getting my new filtration set up, building the canopy and doing my new lighting!!! Been a busy year but should start slowing down so I should have more time. Had 6 weddings since June, the last one is today woohoo!
 
NICE TANK, pretty damn shexy!
