    Well I picked up some material to create the stand today.
    However, Plywood im going to use for main floor and refugium floor seem a bit too heavy... I plan on using this for the sides as well.
    What kind of wood are people using as side panels on their custom stands?

    The 50 looks like a healthy setup, if you do the 65 the same way I'm sure it will be killer. Are you tying them together or replacing?
