my diy stand
here are a few pics of my diy stand. this is as far as i have gotten at this point. i needed something with more room underneath so i could install a sump. with my current cheapo particle board stand i would be lucky to get a 10 gallon tank under it. and i wasn't going to spend the 150 to 200 dollars for the crap they sell in stores. they probaly have 30 dollars in cheap grade pine and particle board in these stands. so far i have a total of 0 dollars and 0 cents in this stand. i just used some scrap from my house, my dads house, and a friends house. it will be skinned with either oak or ash, and will have a crown molding of some sort at the top that will cover the plastic trim on the bottom of the tank.
