DIY Stand and Canopy

[JD_MAN]

This is my practice run for a stand and canopy for a 220 gallon tank. Thought I would practice with a 37 gallon that I had laying around. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I learned a lot from doing this and have ideas on my changes. (The 220 will have doors, but just wanted something simple with this stand.)

I wish I had half the shop that guy has. I watch that show just to get new ideas, but I am limited on the tools that I own.

nice job... are you going to use 2x4 or 4x4 for the corners on the 220
