Lets see your homemade stands

[polyppal]

I Had 2, 30 gallon stands welded together, for my innovative marine 50 gallon, AIO. Added something decorative film, led under cabinet lights & bamb

That metalwork front is nice!

I have done 3 stands so far. My other hobby is woodworking so I had a lot of fun building these. First one has drawers with socks, my socks Right side has filter section for a fresh water. Construction grade lumber of course.

Second one was build for my first reef 75g.

And when I completely have lost myself in the hobby I build my current one for 240g.

I even printed my own cabinet door knobs

This is my stand. This was from 5 years ago. It is still up and running. There are more photos taken during the making of the stand and canopy on my build thread here if interested.

Looks nice and tall. I like a tall stand - more room to work on the sump and gets the viewing pane closer to eye level.

Some nice looking stuff, here. Talented woodworking.

I'm not a fan of the 'standard' design... always looking for an alternative. Wood stand, same size as the tank, canopy, sump underneath... Nope. Not for me.

Belly up to the bar, I'll pour you a dram

Thats awesome, If were to ever buy a house I would do the built in bar with the shelf!

It's a 2x4 frame skinned with solid oak lumber. I could have just built it all out of the oak but I already had the 2x4 stand and just decided to skin it.
