My new custom stand

[arkansasboy]

I built this stand to the specs of a 75 gal. tank even though I only have a 46. I thought it would be better to build bigger so it wouldnt be an issue later if I upgrade. This thing is a little heavy, probably because of the 2x4 and 2x6 construction of the frame. I used 2 of the 2x6's sandwiched together as a header in the front so there wouldnt be any obstruction when I opened the doors. I may build a hood later on to match the stand.

Its cabinet grade red oak plywood and stained to match the kitchen cabinets. Thanks for all the comments. The tank in one of the background shots will be the sump.
