Pics for your viewing - My DIY

Those pics were taken just after I had everything up and running. I've since then secured the power strip against the back frame so the electrical cords are up and out of the way. Of course, they all have a drip loop.
I've also added corner trim to the tank so it looks totally encased in wood. Added that final touch! Good luck with yours karfixer!
 
That wasn't ment as a comment on your set-up ;) My three tanks have a UPS and 4 strip circuits on the floor-behind the tanks and with drip loops- but it isn't easy to access or orderly. I've been taking picts of the tank as I'm setting it up-I'm making a faux rock wall along the back and routing the return line from the wet/dry in an underground jet configuration. Ultimately I'd like to have the outer shell decorated like a S.E. Asian pagoda-since the occupants will all be S.E. Asian fish and plants. I want to have the tank filled in a couple of weeks and fishless-cycled in a week or so later.
 
Pretty stand. A nice addition to the room.
I am replacing my TV armoir with a 125 gallon tank. I am building a more "cozy" and not quite so formal stand myself. I'll try to add some photos of my work if I ever find the time to knock it out.
 
So you need eyes to see? Then you are truly blind my friend.;)
