I still need to build a side table/cabinet to conceal the ato bucket. 1st stand I've built and it came out ok only thing I would change is the height and jack it up about another 6" to make it easier to access the sump and equipment.

This is a New build project I just started, slowly been working on. I decided to go with Black powder coated Aluminum T-Slots. I will end up wrapping the tank, haven't decided in what yet. This is a NUVO Black 25 Gallon, I drilled and used a Glassholes Overflow and Return. Have Red PVC on the way from BRS. Will be using my Radion XR15 for lighting, along with a couple of Vortech MP10's. Black Sand with Pukani.

Bruh, my uncle has a cabinet business and I'm fixing to turn my custom 71.4 rimless starphire in a beast.

Making my stand out of bamboo! It's going to take me a few weeks tho and at least 150 hours to build!

The stand I built for my 90 is not nearly as fancy as a lot of the others, but also my first build of any kind of stand. The front panel is removable and held on with magnets.

(The tank lights were down to moonlights when I snapped the photos. You can see the reflection of my 40B in the tank.)

Here is my stand and tank. The tank is DSA 120gal 76' x 20' x 20". The stand made of cherry and is 40". Two pull out shelves, two drawers for test kits and supplies, ATO storage thats gravity feed. Quick disconnect hoses for filling ATO container, water changes hoses one for old water and one new water. (I made my water under a nearby sink)

Looks great! Any idea of the equipment you used for the pull out drawers? Did you use some sort of jig saw or something to cut the slots out of the front? I am thinking of implementing the front of my stand to have pull out trays similar to yours.

I used a dovetail jig for the drawers.
