bigbird123 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) I have been working on a Stand for a 58g and thought I'd post a few pix...It has rounded corners, crown molding top and bottom, picture frame doors and the tank sits down into the stand to hide the trim. It will be stained Cherry. Here are a few pix. I need to do some finish sanding to start the stain tomorrow. This is for a friend of mine and I will post pix of the staining and finished product later. Edited June 19, 2010 by bigbird123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird123 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 I very seldom enclose the back. It can be but I generally don't because of plumbing , cords, etc. It also promotes circulation of air to the sump, if used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
