Hello fellow reefers!
Now that I am very much familiar with the hobby I will be building a 65 Gal rimless tank with over flow and sump system.

I did a quick mockup on CAD. ;D

Well I picked up some material to create the stand today.
However, Plywood im going to use for main floor and refugium floor seem a bit too heavy... I plan on using this for the sides as well.
What kind of wood are people using as side panels on their custom stands?

I have to criticize...tv has to go and tank needs centered. There's no reason a tank shouldn't be the center point of the room.



Otherwise it looks awesome. Wouldn't wanna ruin that big fancy map, anyways. :)
