Here is the start of my new tank build. This is 1x1 square tubing 48.5 " wide and 40" tall and 18" deep. It will be the stand to a 110 tall. I will begin skinning the stand as soon as I get it powder coated or painted. I know its not much right now

I wasnt sure if it was for a shelf or to mount lighting, or hang cables....Good planning.

Fit the tank it nicely. The top of the tank is 6 ft high so your looking into the tank the top of the floating light fixture is 7 ft
