	However, in the first pic the cross braces are screwed into the sides of the legs/uprights. They should sit on top so the weight is distributed to the uprights rather than the screws holding it together.

I was going to lap joint it together, but it's only for a 20 gallon and I used my kreg tool for joining.. the joints are as strong as a lap joint with the kreg. If I was going to do a 55 or bigger...yea, I'd lap joint them.

Going to get the stain tomorrow, will post when done

THANKS bueller

Bueller, how about a pic with the hood open? I'd like to see how that operates.
