    Arrow Project #7 - yvr75's stand

    This stand is 20"Lx20"Wx32"H. It is designed to be flush with the tank, similar to what I built for 2wheelsx2 except it only has one door one the front. The hardware for the door will be completely hidden. I also picked up the wood and hardware for this stand this weekend, and will begin it after completing a canopy.

    Let me know what you think.

    Love those clean lines Daniel. The cube tanks have really got me thinking. Gives alot of depth without needing all that length. Recently, I've been looking at the Fluval Profile series tanks. Not so hot on Fluval tanks but they do such a great job of creating the look. FLUVAL PROFILE

    Thanks Tony. I like the clean lines as well. Yeah, those tanks look nice. I'd love to try building a stand with a stainless steel skin on it. But haven't worked with metal much so it would be a learning curve.

    Yes it will. I love the clean lines this stand will have. And the hidden hardware is going to be cool.

    It would be cool to get a tank skinned in Bamboo to match flooring or other decor. I originally wanted my stand to match the future in oak, but my wife said we have too much wood tones in the living room already and wanted black.
