Hi!

I am new to the group. I have been procrastinating working on this stand for so many months

I wanted to share my excitement and progress. Aquascaping, lights, and controller case coming soon (and doors

!

The stand is mostly cherry with some cherry veneered plywood. I stained with General Finishes java, HPTC Flat+Satin top coat. The inside and top were painted with Totalboat High Performance Epoxy based blue white.

Can't wait to get some water in it!

Would you need a top or bottom cross bracing for these or would the plywood hold?

There is some cross bracing under the top sheet of plywood. I can share some more pics later.
