    I Have a 110 tall tank that is my new project. I am in the design stages and I made a few drawings of exactly what I want for the stand. It will be a stone and wood stand with a granite six inch lip around the tank.

    Looks like it will be an excellent build. You will have to have some pretty powerful lights if you expect to keep stonies towards the bottom.

    Keep us posted w/pics. ;D
