DIY steel stand

me and my friend made a stand out of steel last night for my 10g nano.  I need to add some grill type stuff to the bottom to make it protected for my tiny sump I plan on getting but other than that its pretty much done.  It was less that $20 for all the metal, and took about 2 hours to make.  It's stronger than most wood stands I'm sure, I literally jumped on top of it where the tank sits and I weigh 175 so it is sturdy lol.

I need to get clearer pics of the actual stand.  I left it unfinished so it would take on that rustic metal look, because that matches my tank well I think.

thanks!  I was just gonna use my old stand but the new place I live in for school won't let me drill holes in the ceiling for the DIY MH light, so I had to design something new that would hold the light.  Also one of my concerns was designing something small that could be moved around along with the tank.  For this reason the top part that holds the light and the actual stand aren't welded together, but bolted, so I can disassemble it.
