The stand is made of 3/4" plywood top and bottom with 2x4's standing vertical every 12" around the outer edge. I ran 2x4's front to back under the top piece ever 24". I then covered the outside with 1/4" birch plywood which was sanded and painted white. The tank is sitting on 1/2" blue foam. The background was hand painted with a bronze, copper, and black spray paint on the back side. I sanded the back with 220 grit paper and used 3/4" masking tape to mask off the black lines. I then used the bronze and copper to paint the rock shapes. Finally I pulled the tape off and painted the whole back black which from the front you can only see the taped off lines.

you need a paint job on the stand. black stand and white walls.

black stands are ugly IMO I hate my current stand... makes it look cheap...

lol I forgot to add the tank looks great...
