Default Re: my 125 gal stand



for the outside I wrapped it with tounge and grove paneling strips.



Ill keep it basic nothing fancy, I may ask one of my uncles if he has a router to put a edge on my doors. Trying to keep the stand and canopy under $200 no oak here.........

Canopy will have 2 250wt MH & 4 96wt PC, some exuast & cooling fans. No ballast I have 2 PC units I will strip apart and when I do this to make them a retro fit I will relocate the ballast, when the MH come in I will be doing the same with them. Not sure if I should enclose the top or If I leave it open it will help heat get out, it will be about 6' tall in total, so if the only reason to enclose the top would be to hide everything it would be pointless.
