Why doesn’t this beautiful tank have a build thread!

Wasn't sure where it should go. Figured it'd be more of a DIY thing.[emoji848] My bad...

That really is nice. Maybe only your second stand, but you For sure have woodworking skills. It looks like to the the right of the tank is the same style door that closes the laundry room, I think.

Love to see a pic of the wall. If I am guessing correct than that is one incredibly nice build.

Here's some pictures of the wall...[emoji12]

Made a stand to go with my Bow Front tank. My Boss was kind enough to give me the tank since he upgraded to a 200G. So, I had to make a stand to better match where it was going in my house. I've included the videos and a few pictures of the tank that I took along the way as I built it.

Nice - I like the way you can see the equipment - but it looks like its part of the 'display' rather than 'a bother'

Yeah, that's what I was going for. I even tried to keep the wires behind the display in a nice order. There are a ton of wires behind the display, but they are all labeled & velcro'd into nice loops to provide a tighter look and easier to remove & replace equipment. My OCD doesn't allow me to do it any other way. LOL

We have a 75 gallon tank which I made a 50 inch long 48 inch high 4x4 “stand” for. Been looking for a nice design to enclose all the aquarium supplies and we like the barn door style. What wood type of wood is on the outside of your frame? Where did you buy the hardware for the sliding barn door?

Thanks, your design, setup is aswesome!

The wood on the outside is Poplar Board. Got it from Home Depot. The Hardware for the Barn door came from Amazon. It's Furniture style Barn Door Hardware. Available in all sizes. The overall dimensions of the stand is 60"L x 21"W x 36"H.
