Maj. Woodpecker

I'm going to get Esac's dimensions on his cubed tank and go from there. I think i'm ready to start a protoype. I really appreciate all the feedback. You guys have been great. Once i am done building this stand and canopy i will post the pictures of it here. Hopefully then you guys can disect it with me and see what changes can be made.

Thanks esacjack for starting this thread. I am that friend that he is referring to. I am a woodworker and not necessarily an aquarist, at this point in time (but esac is quickly making a good case to become). I have been picking at his brain for a few weeks now trying to wrap my mind around the various needs and feautures that one would want to see go into a stand.

What i know for sure is that everyone will have different needs. Everyone have different setups and that everyone will have different ways of organizing their space. The first thing i knew going into this was that making stands was not going to be a one size fits all.

So i turn it over to you guys. Tell me what is most important to you, what dimensions are most ideal, what add ons interest you the most, i would even like to hear what is wrong with the stands that you currently have.

This is the point in my research where i would begin making a 3D model of the stand that i would make but my lack of knowledge prevents me from doing that. I would love to get to a point where i can make a prototype for someone and work out the kinks that way. Let me know if anyone is interested.
