Need Help with stand and canopy build

[ta_lewis]

Hey,

I am thinking about building my own stand and canapy, but I need some help with the design.

Do any one know of a link to a thread showing a custom build. I want some thing that look very high end with the crown molding and stuff. This that will be in my living room as it will not only be a tank but a piece of furniture as well, any pics or link will help. Thanks

One observation I have is that stands that are available to buy are built with the bare minimum materials and most DIY builds are very overbuilt! GO overboard!
