Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera for the entire building process. However, I got a camera today! This is the website that has the plans for the stand that I used.

Here are some pics of the finished product!

no.... didn't even think of that...oops, what should i seal it with??

will kiltze work??

[Chris&Mel]

Wow! nice work

[misiek]

good job with the stand

you can use same paint as you stand is but you have the sump so live the doors open for few days or take them out and paint

[gorey]

You could put a couple coats of outdoor minwax on the inside. I used it on my last 2 stands i built and it holds up great

great job i like it

[julie180]

Looks great, nice work. I agree about sealing the inside door.

Seal EVERYTHING with in splash zone and then go out 2 feet (personal experience) Polyurethane or a good enamel gloss paint will work well.

Nice stand and I like the aquascaping too. Might want to get rid of the hydrometer and get a refractometer someday.

Very nice. The interior of the cabinet looks High N Tight too!!!!

my seaclone started to leak out of the arm that hung from it... i woke up one morning and found saltwater all over my power strip and on the floor... i went with an aqua c remora (and i love it) if i were you i would get rid of the seaclone a.s.a.p!!!
