I built this tank stand and canopy out of red oak. It has a modern look to it with 6 pull out drawers and a canopy that open on a hinge for easy access. I also made the slate background by attaching it to 1/2 plastic mesh with aquarium safe silicone. Right now I have a blue turquoise discus, 10 glo fish , 3 rainbow sharks , and a snowflake eel along with moss balls, java ferns and amazon swords. I still plan on adding a piece of driftwood .
