hardwood stand build still in progress

How will you get that canopy over the tank? Is the ceiling high enough to allow you to lift over and lower it onto the tank,mince the tank is on the stand? Regardless, that looks like a solid heavy piece - hope you have some help... My back hurts just imagining having to move that thing!

Awesome woodworking skills. I like the stand, it has an old school look to it.

That glass door is great!

it is quite heavy but the lid comes off as i had to make it that way so i can get it through the door frames and the corner posts and top come off the stand as well ............the stand with tank on is 55" and the surround is 31" so thats 86" and my ceilings are 101" it was something i had already taken into account and yes it does slide over the top of the tank
