I want to see the best of the best to get ideas on building a stand when I upgrade to a 150 gal. I have followed sonofgaladriel's thread and he gets my vote so far.

Any others? Post pics if possible.
 
People either love my stand or hate it. It is definetly unique! ;)

I think the key is for the stand to fit with the decor of the rest of the house. In my case with a log house, my stand and canopy fit right in.

Nathan, count me in as one who likes it. I really like the way it blends into the surroundings.

Lets see more!
 
Mine isn't the fanciest stand/canopy in the world but I'm happy with it considering I built the whole thing using only a jig saw. The drawer fronts are false and the center support pops out so the sump can be removed. The strange white lines are where i scuffed the paint to make the cabinet look "aged" - it matches another piece of furniture in the room.

I like the look of having a ledge around the tank.

Nathan, you've got the lead so far!! just out of curiosity, what is the size of your tank? :bum:
 
Somewhere, there was a thread where a guy showed us his ?4' cube tank stand and it was all very nicely tiled. Sorry I don't remember who it was. He was just about to or had just filled the tank. But, I really really like his stand.

Maybe someone reading this can remember who it was or the owner might catch this thread because his stand is well worth showing off to everyone.

very cool tank and tank room NP. :)
 
Here a couple of pics of mine. I still am using my camera phone, but that is all I have at the moment. The pics are of but the lights just went on so the corals aren't all the way open yet.
