    Looks great! Don't feel bad about the miss, I was gonna save time and cut four full sticks of panel moulding, miss calculated something and have a pile of chunks now with only a few long enough to cover shorter runs. :)

    It's very easy just make enough room for skimmer or equipment with my 75g I did a 20g long for the sump. I think it's then easiest DIY

    I love you stand, simple, clean, looks great. I plan on using your design to build the exact same stand for my new 90 Gallon, should be the same dimensions. What's the height of the stand?
