Stand and Canopy Build

[sharij1]

Anyone want to show off their DIY and stands and canopies so that I can get a few ideas?

Check out my 120 build thread.

I did a build thread on my 93 cube stand and canopy. I also did a rebuild thread on my 180 stand. Haven't gotten to the canopy yet.

what size?

 

[sharij1]

didn't matter what size tanks everyone has as i'm just looking for ideas, but I have a75 we will be making a stand for.

 

[grouper therapy]

No worries. I thought I might have the plans already drawn up for you size.

 

[sharij1]

ooo...plans?? I noticed after i posted you're a cabinet maker. is the canopy hard to construct?

love the whole wall of cabinets. I just dont have the room for that. but I also like the look of that last 90 also. do either of you guys have a build thread?

 

[grouper therapy]

Sorry I don't.I make my living building cabinets so I don't have or take the time to document the builds. I don't mind answering question when time permits though. Dustin AKA Rededge Does it as a hobby/ side job and does an excellent job with documenting his builds and sharing them.

 

[sharij1]

I need to measure my wall storage. where i have the tank now is not really where i want it. unfortunately where i do want it is the wall the tv is on. just don't know how safe it is to have the tv above a tank.

Edit: woops wall space

 

[mrflameangel]

Holy shark week!!!!! I love that floating tank. I now have my next build in mind...... I just wonder how I'm gonna throw that pitch at the wife.

May I ask what you used for bracing the underneath?

Watching these two guys post pics back and forth is like watching the Hollifield/Foreman fight on Pay-Per-View back in the 80s. (Best fight ever btw). Two heavy weights and even the judges can't decide who wins.

I'm not making THAT decision! The craftsmanship is awesome! Count me as one of the "draw" votes!

 

[grouper therapy]

Here is a vanity that I just delivered to Crewdawg(Grant) here on ARC. I think it would be a cool stand as well. I thought about making the center section look like drawers but function like a door if made for an aquarium stand.
