7) Every time you want to get romantic, your wife says..."Honey I can't...It's like we're being watched".
Multiple contributors thinking alike nationwide
6) When people come over to get frags, I have to rush around and pick up my bras off the bedroom floor before they climb the stairs!

5) Because screaming "Oh god, Oh god!" in the bedroom should not mean your tank just cracked

4) No one will believe you just want them to go to your bedroom to "look at the fish tank."

3) It could be hazardous to your health if, during a passionate embrace, your wife catches you looking to see if the tank needs to be topped off.

2) Because waking up on an island (your bed) when the tank cracked during the night is never a good start to the day!

Received the last of my plumbing in yesterday...hopefully the last. 
I have made a decision on my lighting...yay.
I am going to now ask you big tank brains to help, show me, diagrams for building a stand.
My father in law will build it, he is a carpenter, but I need ideas to show him, 60" long, 48: wide...lets see some ideas people.

Sean - here's a stand that's not as commonly seen. I like how it has a wide base, so it makes it look like your tank is sitting on a tabletop, and not a stand. Not only do I think it looks nice, but it can be functional, too. if built strong enough, you could walk around the edge of the tank, which should make maintenance much easier.

Sean - no plans. Not my tank. Just another thread I'm admiring.
Here's the link. maybe PM CamBarr to see if he has plans?
