Mark, that is awesome like Jon said! Where's all the plumbing and cords, and equipment, and all that stuff that is all over my house?

I just want to know if it has supports under the tank going into the wall. Or is all that weight on those four legs?

I have a friend that all he does is woodworking. He's good at it and he's affordable. If your looking for quotes let me know and I'll get you his number.

Thanks for kind words Chris. I'm not in a position to help at this time (I've got my own projects backing up).

This is the tank and stand of Tyler Perry. He learned all he knows about reef aquariums by becoming a member of the WMAS. He does very excellent woodwork, mostly custom cabinetry. He lives near Rstruhs and Suzy.
The 120 gal. tank is self contained (no sump) and is a recent upgrade from a very overgrown 55 gal. All the weight is on those four legs! It sits on the basement floor. Lighting is 4-96 watt PC. Wiring was done on the wall behind the tank. Notice the clams on the bottom! A nice Ball Sponge grew under an arch along with hoards of mucus net worms!

With talent like that you would think he would be good for a large project, you know like for a public aquarium.

Cool woodwork, and gorgeous tank! TOM, maybe? Clams under PC?
Cool!
Reefobsessed, I bet you could make a really cool stand and canopy.
I made one that I think turned out way nice. If you DIY, you can make
it just right for you..
You can get gorgeous crown molding at Home Depot. They have
some really nice trim and finish pieces. HD will even make cuts for
you on their table saw.
Jon is right about being time consuming, but you might find you
have a talent you didn't know about. You could brag about not only
your incredible aquatic design skills, but also your artistic skill with
power tools!
I got a miter box you can borrow....

I'll back up Suzy on this one. I've made many of my stands and canopies. All were nice and I'm glad I did it. But I have to say the best I've seen is the stand and canopy that Suzy made for their big tank (which she recently sold). It's better than the one Mark posted here, and better than I've seen in stores.

I don't know how Tyler is for time but it would be worth asking him. He can make anything you like from your description. I believe this is Suzy's tank and stand from the 2001 Reef Tour pics:

Thanks, Mark!
ReefObsessed, can you see how "custommade for you" works? I
made this a little shorter, 'cause I'm a little shorter. I also used 4x4
posts for the supports, and all the 1x1 around the cabinet also are
providing support. Our old store bought stand made me feel very
anxious every time I climbed under to play in the sump. I didn't use
any crown molding for the top, but it would be easy. Notice the
dolphins? This is pine, though. Softer wood, but cheaper. It's got 2
coats of marine varnish.
The only tools I used were a jigsaw, a screwdriver, and a
paintbrush. Geez, a cordless drill would have came in handy (Rob
gave me one for Xmas! Hanging drywall has never been easier).
We would all help you if you decide to DIY......
