BTW, I have a 75 and a 125 on order to replace my 55's. I must come up with three more stands: The 125's plus its hood & two stands as temporary homes for the 55g tanks I am replacing. I will buy a couple 55g Petco steel stands to save time, as they will be temporary, and one will be on the patio. But I might build one nice cabinet from the petco metal frame, as internal structure, with maple doors from my kitchen remodel.
The 125 stand and hood will be furniture quality, from hardwood. I will design it to require the minimum of fancy woodwoorking.
