    Got tired of how most tank stands you buy you have to bend over to see the fishes!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks great, I like the finish and the stain. Fits the tank perfectly.

    Looks nice. Can you take the entire front panel off? If not, how will you be getting in to the rest of the sump?

    I really wanted to do a taller stand on my 92g corner but got impatient/lazy and just used the stand it came with. I like what you did.

    the cut out was undersized wasnt sure what size door i would use when i made it, i can get to to everything now lol well if the sump cracks ill be screwd i dont think it will fit through the front. this stand was kind of a practice run for figuring out what i want to do with my 100 or 150 gal i get in a couple months

    Even though this stand was practice, I think you should fix the issue of removing the inability to remove or fix the sump right now. A lot can go wrong in a few months. The last thing you want to do is not be able to get to your sump if you have to do something.
