There is a shelf in each of the three sections. Each shelf is adjustable. I can take it further down or up or add shelving.

When I look at these pics, I have to remind myself that I'm looking at a stand that is a hair under 4' tall. The 2 X 4s look like dwarf versions. I'm used to seeing stands that are much shorter. If you saw this in person, you would understand.
That stand looks amazing!! out of recycled wood to boot!! I am so jealous. I wish I knew how to do that.
You could put 50+ cories in such a big tank. Go with a few different species. Each species has its own characteristics. You'd also need dither fish. Since I added Rasboras to my cory tank, all of my cories have been very active.
Here's a tank that is 48" long X 12" wide X 13" high. The tank I'm planning would essentially be two of these placed end to end. I like the look because it can highlight bottom dwelling species (which are my favs). The problem is that because this tanks are so shallow, it is tough to get a good view of them -- thus, the cabinet.

Sorry, I meant to make that a movie above.

Hope it works this time. I like the look of this tank because it is long and shallow. I've always thought that this design highlights bottom dwellers better than others. This tank is 48" X 12" X 13. If you place two of these together, it would be the tank I hope to somehow own.

If I decide to go with a single species, it would be C. sterbai. I have plenty of time to plan for this, and I'll probably change my mind a thousand times, but I'm leaning on only having one kind of fish in there. I've always had mixed community aquariums. Time for something different.
I want to wait on a canopy until I know what lights I'm going to purchase. Right now, I'm interested in two of these to span the length of the tank:

If the technology changes in the next year, I may change my mind. I'd like a combination of T5 fluorescent bulbs and LEDs (to provide some "shimmer")
