Alright so Im not gonna go into detail about the stand and canopy unless I get any requests to do so, but yep was hand built and was my first time actually spraying the finish on it so that was a new experience to me. As far as the building goes im a finishing carpenter by trade so I guess if there's any questions your free to ask.
Stand/Canopy is Maple and is clear coated with a high gloss varathane product.
Look mom no center strut! Achieved by having 1-1/2 inch gables on the ends of the cabinet, and a solid back. The upper portion between the tank and the cabinet has a solid 4"x6" built up laminate beam in it from and back.
