Today I cut the last of the plywood for the entertainment center (and statue display).
And here is the plywood cut for the fish tank (and statue display).
And this is all that's left of the plywood. And I may still use a little for reinforcements for the fish tank, and maybe frames or something.

cool, can't wait to see these projects come along.
What size aquarium? Adequate support and a very level top are critical for any large aquariums.

Level top?
Crap, our house ain't level. So much so, that I think it might be obvious.

LOL, yeah, I may have to put a scrap piece of wood on one side of the stand, so the water will me more perpendicular with the top of the tank.

the more water, the more weight, and the more important it is that the tank sits level as the water will put pressure on the part that is not level. If the tank tilts to the side slightly the water will put more pressure on the panel that is low than the tank is meant to bear. I have heard of side panels blowing out on large tanks when their is a significant tilt.

I built the tank myself. And built it to hold weight on top, so I can put statues on it. I build a metal frame, so all 12 edges are encased in metal. I'll try to remember to take a pic tonight. I'll look on my threads, I believe I took a pic before putting the glass in.
