That looks great!!... It 's better looking than store bought stands and it is a whole lot more stable than store bought if youhave ever looked at them. Great job!! :headbang2
yes I have looked at them short of the black steel welded stands, i don't think i would but a wooden stand from a store... ever, thay're just made of particle board, i don't know how they ever hold the weight of a full tank, my 75G is like 700 pounds full of water. I actually looked at storebought stands to get ideas for building this one and I was shocked at the lack of support; no vertical beams, just lots of ikea style particle board, so i decided to do it from scratch.
 
nice look might do one for a 90g high but would like to have a split or two level stand so i can show mt 10g also. any thoughts?
