Looking for a modern/nice design for my new Nuvo 40 tank! Please post pictures of your stand for inspiration! It can be for any sized tank, just looking for something to go off of. I’ve built several stands in the past, but want to do something much nicer this time around

80/20!
 
Nothing fancy and it was done in a couple of hours. I framed the stand and then I clad it in bamboo flooring I had left over then I made a door which I hung on a cleat.
This is when I finished cladding it, I have since finished with some trim and painted some of the edges but I don't have any pics of it finished. 20210502_192115.jpg

Don't know if this will help, but I do like to show off my stand!! My first career field was custom cabinetry. I built this stand back in the early 90s. Doors and end panels are solid oak. interior is 3/4" oak ply. There are 7 braces across the bottom to support the weight and the back panel is make of 3/4" oak ply.

I built this stand to last and here we are 31 years later and I bet the house itself will crumble and turn to dust while the tank and stand remain!!

Here is my recent build for my Nuvo 50 lagoon tank. 2x4 frame with barn wood siding. Wife wanted something she calls "BOHO" style.
