Holy cow, i started my new stand for my 75 gallon tank and 20L tank. Its a monster... 8ft long, 3ft tall, and 2 feet deep.

Here is a post on our club website showing it...

Looking nice. I'm curuous to the lighting you are going to use. One hood for both tanks would look sweet but a slight PIA to build due to the tanks having different heights.

Y'all have to login with the name and password the OP provided above in order to see the attached pics.

Thanks BR, it was a lot of work, but totally worth it. I will def take that advice on the silicone, already sealed the grout so i guess the tiles are next.

Well, even more updates posted. This is one hell of a plumbing job. IT will be super awesome though and pretty functional throughout.
