    Anyone know of a good stand builder? Nothing fancy, black pine is fine, 48x24 or so.

    I built mine with 2x4s and used a finished plywood for doors. Nothing fancy but I painted it all black and it actually looks pretty good.

    That's good to know. I don't really have many tools for it. Or any skill, haha. But that might be an option.

    Thanks a ton! I am still sorting out what tank, better be 100% before getting a stand, so it's a ways off yet.

    Added a few pics of mine for reference anyway. I made it so it has 4 doors. Nice being able to open up the sides.

    Nice, those doors on the side are a great idea - that stand looks sweet.

    Thanks. My tank is 48x24 (120) by the way. And ya I wanted something simple but functional. I also filled in the screw holes with wood puddy and sanded them down. If I was to do it again I'd think ahead about where you'd put equipment and power strips and build accordingly Lol.
