The only question is, it looks to have the same footprint as the 120 48"x24" Is that right? why not go for the 120 and get the height. Or maybe that's the whole reason to not have the height? What is it judeo?

yes its shares the same foot print with the 120. I didn't go with the 120 because of the height, I love the shallow look of this tank and the possibilities I can have with it at this height. Also the fact that is just looks real clean! haha

Also, Rob I'll txt you the exact measurements of the tank tomorrow. I wasn't able to get the tank today due to the weather. definitely tomorrow. Since the tank is shallow, I'm thinking the height of the stand should be around 40". let me know what you think.

Yea any lower and you will be looking down at it. My stand is 36 and sometimes I feel that it is to low. Also for stability and a little more room below you should think of building the stand with a little shelf around 3 or 4 inches, this also makes for a nice place to put your drink while working on the tank, a very important feature while most times overlooked lol.

BIG BIG BIG Thank you to Rob!

Honestly, amazing at what he does. I just saw wood when I got there and with his skills it ended up looking like this...

Nicely done! Love seeing the projects involving sawdust. I’m just questioning what appears to be a Victoria Secret’s catalog on the top of the stand.
