It took 1009 days from when I purchased the tank to day 1 of the cycle (life gets in the way doesn't it?). Pretty happy with it so far!

The energy savings must be spectacular! :dance:

Beautiful job on the stand and canopy. =) I love the rock work as well.

I've never had the time to make my own stand (until now) and this thread has given me MUCH inspiration. Thank you all who donate their time to this thread along with their experience.

Are you going to finish and seal the inside of the stand/canopy? That's where it gets moist and will swell the wood, ruining your beautiful work.

Here's my JBJ 28G nano stand, design inspired by the stock JBJ stand. Made from maple and trimmed in wenge. Believe it or not, the front is the same piece of lumber resawn and edge glued, cannot explain the color difference. Does not look as pronounced in person as pic makes it. The door is held on with rare earth magnets, so it can be removed for servicing the bottom. All electrics are mounted inside.

Hope you enjoy, Tony

yeah that's one of the things i still have left to do. I also still need to make some adjustments to the front doors on the canopy so i've got some reasons to take it back to the garage. thanks for the compliment!

Just finished this up for a friend. Very modern, so not for everyone.
