Ready to begin stand and canopy

jks1 · 01-11-2004, 08:53 AM

Finally finished the entertainment system I was building, so now I'm ready to start the stand and canopy for my new tank. I decided on a 96" x 24" x 24" tank. For size ref thats a 50" widescreen TV in the entertainment center.

Very nice entertainment center. I like the layout with the different depths. You should have no problems with a stand and canopy after the entertainment center. Just make sure you use plenty of poly and leave ventilation.

8 footer .. way to go John .. I look forward to seeing some pics. Thats a nice lookin media center. I am thinking of going the other way with mine. Instead of wood, I am thinking glass & metal with rack mounted components.
