Just another tank upgrade thread

The stand is hideous. I don't know how to make it prettier. The stand for my 40b came from @Hockeynut and it's beautiful and fits with my house decor. This thing looks like absolute trash.

I have this tank.
I've seen it. It's beautiful. I need to figure out a way to make the stand look better before setting up though
That's what I'm wondering. Not sure yet what I'm gonna do or what the easiest would be
Made some progress yesterday and today. Had to empty the old tank so I could drag it. Had no help so it was a pain to move both tanks alone. But finally got the new tank in place. Got the last things I needed, built the lid and added sand. Started filling but I can only make around 30g at a time so it's gonna take a while.
All I'm missing is to figure out what I want to do with the lights. ANY IDEAS ARE HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.

Congratulations! The stand looks nice. If you wanted you could use PVC on the outside of it. Comes in 4x8' sheets. I used all PVC/Azek instead of plywood, then the frame of the outside was made with 1x6 PVC. Home Depot sells it all. Azek is way over priced. They carry a company called Verdana. They make all PVC material similar to Azek
I haven't made my doors yet, since the pvc isn't structural I'll need to make the rails and stiles out of 1x pine then insert PVC panel.
Best wishes, coming along nice!

Finally got the tank set up and running. Only lost one coral. (A wall hammer).
Wanted to add a secondary light and stretch the bar. I used 1/2 steel black pipe to make the mounts. Came out awesome. Love the way this tank came out.
