Default DIY stand for big tanks

I just thought I'd throw up some pictures of the stand I built for the big 110 gallon. I also have a canopy for it, and the whole thing was stained and sealed, but unfortunately I haven't got those final pics scanned in yet. But the tank is full, and it's been holding solid for a week now

Looking good! Not the tank, Somonas! Luvfishes of course!

O, sorry! Back to the stand! Im envy you! Nice 110G and stand! What you could do also is get a table cloth or something and cover the bottom to hide the filters and stuff!

My DIY Stand is for my 50 G and it consists of build it yourself cube furniture from Fred Meyer. It looks very nice as the color of the wood (pressboard) matches my oak trim on the aquarium.
I don't have a way to post any pics on the net at this time, but if you go to one of the larger Fred Meyer stores that sells furniture you will be able to see what I mean. Lynette Jennings is on the box and you choose the components you want Drawers, cubby hole shelves and cabinets, they screw together and theres a board that screws to the top. It came out to be 30 inches tall and about 58 inches long and holds my tank so far.
I must say when I look at I am proud it came out so attractive.
