Its the background that came with the tank..
Why ply wood on the back? Then you would not be able to put a power strip/canister filter/ air pump under the tank..

Looks better? Once the doors are on you won't even see it. How would a piece of plywood act as a cross brace?
GREAT LOOKING STAND!!! I think there is enough vertical support for a 700 gallon and I've built a lot of stands LOL. Plywood on the back would add diagonal stability, not that you will need it. I would (now that your tank is full) add a 1'2 to 3/4 piece of high density (blue, pink or yellow, not white) styrofoam insulation between the stand and tank just for way minor out of square/level issues. I had a tank set up for years on a concrete floor and one day it peed-125 gallons worth-allllllllll over. Careful measuring showed the stand had a low corner, to the tune of 3/16". Not much, but enough for a bad day, years after setup..
Build more stands, set up more tanks!

I'm going to college in utah so I no longer live at home in so cal. I'm going to be transporting my oscar, clown loaches, and blue lobster from my 100 back home to my 75 up here, leaving my jag and butti to themselves in the 100. hopefully they dont murder each other.fishbum;3485172; said:
nice stand. try to place a couple of doors on it. it would really bring it out, plus doors hide all of the JUNK that you don't want anyone to see.
