I love the dimensions all together! My build table is almost exactly the same height as the stand and with the length the height is PERFECT for easy maintenance. In fact, this was Derricks main want in this build...not having to go shoulder deep to clean ;).

 

Here's a pic of the delivered "raw" stand. I will be finishing the stand in Blue. It will match the acrylic panels that will later wrap the stand.

And here is the bottom going on the tank! Tank is almost done!

All that's left for the tank once the bottom cures is flush routing top and bottom edges then build/install external overflow. :)

Ok, stand is done (with exception of blue acrylic skin which will wrap the stand later after we get the custom work done to them).  You won't want to miss the plans for the acrylic skin!!!  We are taking custom to an all new level, but are right in line with what ARTFully Acrylic is all about ;)

One last addition before tomorrow's delivery. Derrick wanted a way to attach the goosenecks for his Kessil's...so we came up with this. It's a 3/4" thick polished piece of acrylic that runs the length of the tank. Beauty is in simplicity. This will blend in and not be distracting...by design.

 

Delivery begins in about 12 hours.

Outstanding work. I really can't wait to see this start getting setup.

Won't be waiting long for the setup all...Derrick started filling it for a freshwater test before I even left from the delivery lol.  Pictures are backwards, but you should get the gist.  At the end are "teaser pics" of the blue acrylic panels that will eventually join the tank/stand.  Also included are pictures of how the combo was protected and packed up for delivery.  Delivery went well...no issues =).
