I'm not sure if it's your editing or natural talent but you're so concise while also being super information dense. I've gone down a rabbit hole of aquarium stand build videos and while yours isn't realistic to aim for I've gotta say your video production is excellent!
Thanks for the compliment. Definitely the editing...I ramble on an d on, then edit out the stuff viewers don't need. I feel like my videos are getting better, but it's really nice to see it in the comments! Thanks for watching.
About 100lbs with lights, cords and door panel. I shouldn't ever need to take it off. It lifts high enough for me to stand under it, and a full bucket can be poured in without touching the canopy in the full upright position. Still, if I did need to remove it, four bolts, and it's off. Thanks for commenting!
Are you a carpenter by trade? I know it sounds dumb(I just found your channel today) I'm just curious for the tremendous amount of detail you added.Overall very beautiful stand and canopy!
Sort of...I am a handyman, but mostly do heating and cooling. I periodically take on carpentry jobs, but mostly it's just for fun. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
Please help for my tank, 200cm X 70cm X 70cm, 12mm glass, empty weight over 100kg. Water volume 980 lt/259 gallon. How thickness wood for my tank stand?
That's really hard to say without seeing the tank in person. 3/4" (19mm) is strong enough to hold most anything under 500 gallons. Still, some manufacturers recommend support along the entire bottom panel, while others only want support along the edges (hence the plastic frame along the bottom). If I had a flat panel along the bottom, (no frame), I wouldn't be afraid of 3/4" (19 mm) material for support, and a sturdy flat top stand with a 12 mm styrofoam sheet between the tank and stand. Hope that helps!
Personally you have concentrated more on the details you have lost the tank. The tank looks too small for the unit ! And although very clever the details are an over kill
That's the beauty of building whatever you like. For me, the glossy black box or the old pallet treatment just doesn't go with my décor, so I opted for something a bit more ornate. Certainly, it's not for everyone, but this tank was for me, and I like a blend of classic and contemporary in my furniture, so I indulged... Also, for what it's worth, I am filming with a gopro, so the wide angle makes the canopy look bigger than it appears in person. The thumbnails in this video show a more accurate representation of the tank. Have a look and see if you still think the tank was lost in the display. ... and thanks for watching! ruclips.net/video/yx8Ad4dliXI/видео.html

Amazing and inspiring build
Thanks for the compliment. I hope you got a chance to watch the video showing the finished set-up. That's where all the high spots are covered.
Hey Bud, love the videos. Can you add the link to the Fluting detail?
Done. See description.
What kind of router bit did you use for the edging trim on the mantle?
How much does that canopy weigh? I hope you don't ever need it off of the tank. I love your attention to detail, that's a great looking setup.

I didn't realize it lifts up, this was the first video I watched. I'll have to go back and watch the progression of the build.
