Getting a new 4x3 tank soon and just finished the stand. Going to be running 2x 4 bulb T5 and 2 AI sol blues. My dad made it and I can't wait to set it up in the next couple weeks. On with the pics...

Thanks. It was all my Dad's doing. He built my last one too and this one takes the cake. No more changing sizes if anything I will get the same footprint tank from now on lol. He knocked this one out of the park IMO.

Thanks Mikey!! He is super cool but he doesn't have his own tank. I might have to get him one and fill it with some sexy pieces!!

nice works!! SKILLZ indeed!

quick question: what DJ strips are those? do not look to be the American DJ, looks like maybe the tech pro units with 9 switches and the blue LED?? been looking at the dj strips but dont want to get a poor quality unit and have not heard the best reviews about the ADJ

They are the technic pro. I got them because people are using the ADJ locally and wanted to be different. Plus the blue goes with the rest. I can also change the color of the LEDs around the trim on the top of the stand.

Glass doors?

Amazing stand. Your Dad is very talented. The Glass doors caught my eye....are they etched panels? Can I ask where you found them? Exactly what I have been looking for....

Thanks everyone. The glass is etched and I had a local company do it. The company is called Gorman Etching in Mayport, FL. You can try and see if they can ship. I still need some more pieces but it should be set up within a month(fingers crossed!!). I appreciate all the nice comments and keep showing my Dad also. I can't say enough of how good of a job he did on only his second stand.
