hey guys Let me see your fancy stands as I am in need of how to start on my stand but haven't come up with any good design yet. Thanks

I don't know if this is fancy or not but I'm proud of my stand (my dad made it for me)!

Here is a few shots of mine.. The corner tank is a 92. The other is a 180. Sorta of fancy I guess. I built them out of Red oak. Alot nicer then stock stands. You can't really tell in the picture. But the 180 has a small shelf around the bottem of it.. I inlayed Tile that looks like slate in it. Works well to catch any trips down the side of the tank.. Also makes a nice spot to set fish food and glass scrapers lol.

8BALL_99 · 03/27/2008, 12:17 PM

I also have a 35 Hex beside the 92.. All 3 stands match as far as same kind of wood and finish.

EllieSuz · 03/27/2008, 12:33 PM

I don't have a fancy stand to show you, but I'll describe one I saw here and maybe someone will reply with a link. This guy had a 'fuge under his tank right in the middle and it was aquascaped & had varieties of macro for color. He had a glass door in the middle that illuminated the 'fuge and regular doors on each side. It was really beautiful!

rbursek · 03/27/2008, 03:58 PM

Nice guys, I donot have apic of mine but did it myself, a AGA mission copy, $220.00 in Oak and a weekend in the shop, the hood took longer do to the lighting install.

Esquare · 03/27/2008, 05:11 PM

kingsland · 03/27/2008, 07:20 PM

very nice stands everyone

FlamesFan · 03/27/2008, 07:57 PM

Here is mine. Best thing about it is there is no center brace where the doors open and my sump maximizes space inside.

I just used minwax oil based stain. Color was Provincial. I also used 3 coats of Fast Drying Polyurethane. I think Semi Gloss either that or satin. I really like the look of the red oak or red Mahogany,, but I showed my wife a test peice and she said it was too red

The Provincial was my 2nd choice. I really do like it though.

Nice Maple Kernel. Are the doors Quilted Maple? Did you use a veneer for them or did you get that great figure in solid pieces?

Das75, yours looks like maple as well. I really like the miters on the shelf corners and the molding. Very nice detail as opposed to plain 45â€™s.

This thread was a great idea derick. I enjoy seeing what other people come up with and how they add their own flair.
