Sweet keep us updated! Are you gonna build a matching canopy?

Cool well Im looking forward to seeing the end result!

That's more than enough to hold a 10g. To give you a reference, 3/4" ply on end will support a 65g tank. I would however make sure it's level to keep stress off the glass. Just in case.

i agree. And they aren't cheap either. This stand cost me around $80.
