    Looks just like average building material to me as there seems to be writing printed across the front of the one board. Seams like he will just face it with something then. At least that's what I ended up doing with my stand.

    Actually I was thinking about putting the rails that they use for sliding pocket doors and hanging it from the ceiling that way if I have to get into the tank I can slide it out of the way. Like this.


    Thanks. The tank definitely can hold its weight. Just plain yellow wood from the HD.

    Good eye malac. It will be skinned in the near future after the water test.
