Every thing is bolted to the wall. We originally mount the cabinet using tv wall brackets but there was to much sag. Thats when I decided to use the brackets.

Here is one I'm pretty proud of! The corners are made of 4×4 posts I cut down on a bandsaw. Tank is a 45 cube center overflow.
A lot of nice cabinets on here, but this is creative cool right here!
I'm a carpenter myself and really like seeing things that are different, unique.

The corners are glue and screw. The front of the hood opens so I can service the tank.
Original plan was to use a tv bracket. It wasn't able to with stand the front weight so I then purchased brackets and wire. I asked the wife if she would rather see the brackets or the wire hanging from the ceiling. She choose the brackets.

Here is mine so far. It is holding a 60" 120 and 40b sump. Upper frame is C4x5.4 channel and everything else is 2" .120 wall square tubing.
I am now working on the canopy and cabinet faces to skin it. Got all of the frames done and did all of the router work on the 6 cabinet doors yesterday.
