Hey Charlie thats a real nice stand... Your cuz and his co-workers have some great craftsmanship... That thing is going to look crazy when you get your tank in there...

Really nice Charlie. Take a look at Luspan's tank on the fish tank room thread

I think your stand and canopy would look great painted white. I guess it depends on the decor of your home though.

very nice!
How long do you think it will take them beginning to end?

 

[sharkbait69]

That is going to look beautiful when its done. It all ready does look great now and its not even done.
I?m definitely taken the name and number for my next stand.
Good luck with everything.

 

[charliethetuna88]

Thanks guys they have right now about 20 hours on it we are probally lookin at another 20 we still have all the trim work to do and stain then clear coat he is also making the lights slide out for easy acsess to the bulbs and we are then going to add little dimmable puck lights to each of the cubbys the bottom ones will have 3 glass shelfs one in each cubby ill get some more pics hopefully sat we will probally do some more work on it all I gotta say is maple and oak are friggin expensive I've spend over 800 in wood so far lol it will be worth it at the end
