120 gal Stand and Canopy pics

[marino420td]

I thought I would post pics of my stand and canopy I recently finished. I just got the tank cleaned up and set into place. I'm about ready to start plumbing and I'm sure I will have plenty of questions. If anyone locally has their sump and equipment in an adjacent room, let me know so I can get ideas.

the crown molding work is great on the tank-now just finish the molding in the room that the tank is in

Looks great. Why did you paint the end?

I bought the tank used and it was an in-wall tank. The back and both ends were painted but I scraped one end clean. I decided to leave the other end painted to make maintenance a little easier (this way I don't have to scrape coralline off so much glass). I don't like the looks of this end so I am looking for suggestions on covering this end (I posted another thread asking for suggestions). I thought about getting a stained glass panel to hang. I may just end up scraping this end clean as well.

Not sure what molding in the room you are referring to. Maybe that is your point. The room is finished.

I got the initial idea from sonofgaladrial's (sp?) cube stand. Then modified it to fit my needs and tank size.
