My custom built stand and canopy for my 90 gallon tank. Going to set up Salt Water... Took me 9 days to complete the build.... planning on staining it Ebony this weekend.... I used Poplar for the project.

Here is the cabinet that I built. The beam, doors and counter are made from reclaimed barn wood. Feel free to PM me with questions. Thanks for looking.


Here is a FTS Including the beam which came out of a 150 year old barn in Penn.​


Another FTS​


Before water went in - You can see how the counter turned out. The counters use to be barn floors, in the same barn the beam came from. I left the boards with heavy distressing.​


Here is a close up of the doors. The doors were made from barn fencing that came from Kentucky. All 4 doors can be removed to make maintenance easier.


Here is a shot with the front doors removed. I used 2x8 headers across the top to avoid a center beam. Makes access to the sump very easy.​


Here is a shot with all the doors removed and the trap door that conceals my cords​
Very nice build

What bulb combination you have in the ATI T5 fixture?

Here is our work in progress. Made from 100% repurposed wood :)

We sanded, painted, sanded, and stained each individual piece for this project.

We haven't done the canopy yet...waiting till we are ready to mount the light.

The stand is nearly 4' wide x 4' tall x 30" deep and is being built for a 60gl cube

Downstairs. Front door pops off completely for ease of maintenance via cabinet clamps top and bottom. Controllers for pumps and power heads will be mounted above the power strip.

Plexiglass inbetween a U channel on top and a notch in the bottom of the control pannel. I'm going to back paint these either black or white. That's why I haven't removed the plastic after I cut it
