Hey all, I am in the process of designing a custom stand/canopy for the new 55g tank, but am a little lost about this. I know the dimensions, and have a basic idea I what I want in my head, but what materials would be good to use? I was thinking of using 4x4 post as the supports, since the tank is as heavy as it is. Then doing around the outside with a nice solid wood skin, either a cherry or similiar wood. I am wanting doors on the front that will have the ability to be locked, and a canopy that will also be able to be locked (those who have followed my string of luck will likely understand the reasons for the high security...LOL). I know that we will need 48 inches in length with 13 inches in width...are these measurements correct? I intend to build the sides up to cover the black trim, on both the canopy and stand. Also, the lighting will be attached to the roof of the canopy. Any help/input/advice/ctricism will be greatly appreciated. Any pictures, links, personal experience, and so on will be a major help
Thank you all in advance,
