Help finding any info. on building a bow front stand

[coralkiller]

I have looked and looked but I cannot seem to find any threads, sites or youtube videos that show you how to build a bow front cabinet. Anybody got any ideas???

Here's a good one, LOL... https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/do-yourself-diy/65009-diy-bow-front-stand-canopy-links.html

I did a quick Google on it, kicked back a fair amount of useful information.

I would build one like this...kinda what Troylee said, about making a rectangular stand to house the sump...

Hey coralkiller, after you get the bowfront we can start on the acrylic ATS.

I know a guy who build custom things like that... Although hes expensive but at least he does A lousy job

Mel is your stand big enough to get the SRO 5000 EXT under it? You said you built it to have a sump under it.

Carl, I saw a very nice design a while back for one. it was basically a rectangular stand with a bowfront piece of plywood on the top. the person then build the doors on teh front using verticle pieces of wood so they didnt have to do any wood bending yet had a bowed stand. they did a hood to match. the doors were hidden in the wood. looked really slick.

good idea i would think it work fine long as your tank doesnt have a lot hanging off the front.

heres another good reason im glad we are here .. blank blank would ban u or at least close your thread and delete it for posting another forums link on their site .. but R2R doesnt care or have rules against linking info from other sites. ran across another post last night where the one of the mods even said post good info on here you can link to whatever site long as its apropriate. <3 Revhtree

That's just because reef central sucks... What's REALLY funny is... People who choose to use that moronic site even edit their posts on other not crappy sites just because they are afraid the idiots of reef central snoop on the not white trash web sites and ban them from their beergut guarded sewer... But clearly you can see that I for one don't really care if this thread hurts their wittl feewings
