This will be a slow build

nice! That could likely hold an 800 gallon tank :)


The adjustable legs will be the limiting factor of the stand. The ones i purchased are rated at 1000 lbs ea. I wanted to use leveling wedges but could not justify the cost of them.

I this case there is not much negative to it being over built in this case. The tubing cost a little bit more but I am able to purchase steel from work at cost and at the volume we purchase it is very reasonable.
 
Mostly done with skinning the stand. Wish I would have used thicker trim board at the top to create a shadow line at the top of the panels. In my mind I was but that was removed when I put a 1/4 lip on it.

How do people decide on lights. The only thing I have taken off the table is metal halides. I like the new Kessil AP9X then I saw on a video that it was not good for a 48" tank.

That's a really cool setup! I'd make jokes about the blue being noticeable, but I have a feeling that would open me up for "it's good at collecting waste" jokes..... Honestly a bummer the purple didnt work out like you wanted but looks great otherwise!
 
Still building but slow

I did get my Seneye to work with a Raspberry Pi and VirtualHere so I do not need a computer close to the tank.
