Sry for the poor pic quality. Cell phone pictures are always terrible, but better than nothing. I still have some work to do on the stand, I have to add a center brace to the front and back as well as wrap the stand and finish it. More pics to come.

Here are a couple more shots of wrapping/finishing the stand. The only thing I have left is cutting the doors and placing the 3/4" piece on top. Can't wait!

Ok. I'm in the middle of building my stand for the 200g DD. Am I crazy of is 43" way too tall for the stand height? I would like to make it so people don't have to bend down too far to see the sand bed action, at the same time I want a sturdy stand. Let me know what you think! Thanks. No pics yet. I will try to get some up asap!

Ok guys/gals,
I am upgrading from a 55g to a 200g DD. The tanks measures 48Lx36Dx27T. I got the tank at a good price and can't wait to set it up. I am trying to do as much stuff DIY as possible to save money. I am thinking about building my own stand but I am a little nervous cause this baby is going to be >2000lbs. Does anyone have suggestions or know of good sites that has some articles on DIY stands? Would 2x4 only be enough support? ANY advice would be greatly appreciated! Also, ...
