    Hi everyone

    So i recently just start caring for saltwater fish. All i have right now are two damsels which i believe to be baby regal damsels. (not so sure on the I.D. but age is about 4 months i believe ) they're in a 10 gallon and i'm upgrading to a 90 gallon soon but, won't be till i get a stand. I heard this site has a great community and i wanted to see whats the jazz is all about :cheesy:

    If you need help, advise or just want to show off your new tank or coral, this place is great.

    Welcome to 3reef, You could make a stand from 2X4's and then skin it with 1/8" plywood.

    If you make your own stand, that's the best part of making your own stand (and I pray my husband NEVER sees this part) but you can build it the way you need to, the way it fits your needs. And as far as putting something onto it. I would farnish it with waterproofing. Because I promise ya, your gonna get your spills. (I know this from experience way to well lol)

    I know i'm new to the forum, but I thought I would say something! ;-) lol
