Wow. Very nicely done. Very beautiful setup - tank fish stand and all.

And thanks for mentioning google sketchup, I'll be building a tank and a stand soon and wanna see what I can do with my pencil sketches on the computer. :)

Hey thanks for all the comments everyone!

Google SketchUp is the way to go. I spent a lot of time playing with the design in it before I came up with the final plan that I was happy with. You also get a very good idea of what the final product will look like in 3D.

I've enjoyed this tank/stand for about a year and a half now...
BUT...

If I were to build this stand again, I would make it 4 inches taller, so that there is more height room inside for the sump and/or filters.
