98% Finished: Doors havent been added yet and now i wanna put a couple of holes on the inside to the back, which i should of allread done but COMPLETELY forgot about it, and im also gonna cover the inside in some kinda felt or whatnot, im just ready to get some fish in this SUCKER!!! My 3m colorquartz s-grade black should be here in a couple of days and my filters, heaters, therm., and other various equipment should be here by the end of the week sooo I CANT WAIT!!!!!! Keep in touch with me as i will soon have pics of fish and overall setup once my tank is cycled

My main reason for building this stand was i couldnt see myself payin the kind of money my lfs's were askin for stands. Mine is built MUCH MUCH MUCH better than what they were offering and for a fraction of the cost. This was fairly simple to build too and didnt take to long, although im impatient and it seemed lilke it took FOREVER, anyways i would DEFINETLY recommend DIY on stands if you have the right tools or know something who can lend you them. Saves lots of money and u get EXACTLY what you want as I have and thanks for all your compliments!
 
Damn that thing looks nice! Good job! I'm gonna have to model off of your pics when I build the stand for my future 240!!! :cheers:
 
thanks! yea hopefully ill be lookin for at LEAST a 240 in the next year or so, so ill be back to buildin another stand, more than likely one just like this one being i like it so much...i still gotta add doors and wat not and maybe try to build a canopy but i was sooo freakin eager to get this thing cycling so i can add me some fish that i couldnt wait no longer! haha
 
thanks guys, my lady today brought up the topic of moving my fishtank in the living room :headbang2, which is awesome because I had it in a seperate room and now all my lil buddies are gonna be able to watch HUNT FOR BIG FISH with Larry Dahlberg with me now, HECK YES!!!
