Helping a friend... New build

[Greybeard]

Got a friend, recently picked up a 250g DD. 60" x 36" x 24" I'm assisting him in designing a stand.

Structure will be welded steel, powder coated. Skin will be a thin wood veneer, likely cedar, since he likes the wood. Doors have inset glass, to show off the sump. Sump is a custom 5' long job, very, very nice looking, done in white and red acrylic, with clear 'windows' to the various sections. Bench on the end will house a large ATO reservoir, padded lift up top.

Did a quick sketch...

Opinions?

looks good. I always like a lip at the bottom of the tank shelf

Lip? You seen my tank? I like a 'lip' as well About a foot wide

So... another concept, same tank size. This one would require removing the two factory corner overflows and drilling the end... nice, thick glass... I'm not ascared Seating might well end up being a purchased couch, but you get the idea. Box / endtable would hold a 24" square ATO reservoir. Back side of tank to house mount and related... We'll most certainly add doors at some point.

Thoughts?

Where can I see detailed pictures of the top your daughter painted? I see you mention it all the time, I have to see it!

Ask and ye shall receive.

Filmmaker, I'm not... but I did try and capture it when it was first completed.
