    Smile my diy stand/canopy

    well its been in use for over a year but i never posted pics of it finished/painted.the hoods a four door and has no top.the stand has no center brace and the bottom holds about twenty gallons-the whole thing is epoxied so its completely water proof.

    probably should have cleaned the glass and stuff first-but im keeping it real besides-i plan on posting some good full tank shots pretty soon.

    i guess the pics i posted of it under construction are gone-they didnt show up in my searches

    Looks very nice OR, excellent craftmanship bud! I like the fact that you painted it black to which to me brings out the colors of the corals moreso. How about a full tank pic more zoomed in on the tank

    Beautiful job. That black sure does accent and draw your attention to what’s inside the tank.
