I love the look of this! Thanks for the ideaMy humble first attempt. My second was a little nicer but I sold that setup. View attachment 3115984View attachment 3115997
Very nice!Mine is small compared to some but it is unique since it is a hex tank and I had some preconditions before the build. My wife did not want to see the water level at the top or the sand or gravel on the side of the glass. She also did not want to see any of the equipment in back of the tank. So this is what I came up with. Below are some photo of the completed stand and canopy and a few during the build.

Thank you.Very nice!
With as much as a saltwater tank will end up costing by the time you stock it...even a nice aluminum frame stand with wood wrap doesn't really change the overall cost much. Which is why I will never build my own stand and tank...2 of the most critical parts to built right and not much % saving overall.Salty stage: Have you ever built a DIY aquarium stand?
We spend a lot of time thinking about our tanks, looking at our tanks, and focusing on what it is happening in our tanks and appropriately so. However, sometimes we overlook that stand that literally and physically supports all the magic in the tank. Whether you have a premade stand or a DIY stand, whether your stand is made of aluminum, wood, or some other material, it is safe to say that all stands are not created equal. If you did decide to build a DIY aquarium stand, why did you choose to go that direction? Was your motivation cost, the challenge, the need for custom size/features, or something else? If you have built a DIY tank please share your experience and any tips/designs that you think may be helpful to the community. If you haven’t built a DIY stand, have you thought about it? Feel free to share your thoughts about why you have chosen not to or what is holding you back. Whether it is wood, steel, aluminum, or other material, let’s talk about DIY stands in the discussion thread!
