I’ve been planning out a new planted 90 gal/system & I’m also looking to make a custom stand/canopy that will hold a wet/dry sump & all the other equipment needed like a RO unit & C02 tank.

Does anyone have any pictures of their DIY stands & equipment/CO2 set-ups ?
 
Well, to hold all of that, I can only assume it's a big tank, over 100g. If it helps, this is my stand:

Inside. Where the 2L bottles are is now where my 10# CO2 setup is. I've also added a Mag 350

With matching DIY hood(see the link in my sig for how I built that "DIY 126W Lighting)

No pics of the stand as I'm re-doing it but I've got pics of my DIY canopy with a relatively cheap 160w lighting arrangement with cold cathode night lighting ($150 or so in bulbs, wire, and ballasts) along with some DIY cabinetry. I've since fixed the light leaking out of the back of the cabinet as well as around the doors for the most part.
