This stand (when finished) will have 2 sets of cabinets and is designed to hold 2 10g and a 30g on top. However, I've made it large enough to hold a 55 on top and 30 in the bottom. So it's not a unitask plan.
The top tank will sit at 49"- which IMO is perfect for getting into the tank and watchin the fish. The top tank is gunna be a planted community tank with focus on Blue Rams, Killis, Lemon Loaches and wood shrimp. I still have to build the hood for that tank- but it will match the stand.
Right now, the 2 10g tanks are: 1 tank of feeder shrimp and 1 tank as a hospital/nursery. I plan on using curtains on tension rods to hide them. But I'm also going to try my hand at custom backgrounds when I get to that stage. Doin the old cement on stryofoam method- but that's another step down this road.
I haven't started the cabinets yet- but they will have doors and food shelves, an automatic light that comes on when the doors are opened- so you can see!
Oh and labeled, mounted power supplies.
The cool thing- this stand has only cost me $60 for everything!
Here are the pics of my WORK IN PROGRESS- it still has a ways to go to being done...
