yamahariders 120 tank.

New tank stand wrap around

Well my wife had never really liked my DIY stand for the tank that I built. She kept saying that it didnt look professional. I can honestly say that I am in no way a carpenter....LOL, and I have to admit that I never really did like the look either (don't tell her that ). So we got the cabinet maker that built our cabinets for our house to build us a wrap around for the stand. All we ended up doing was removing the doors and the trim from the old stand and slideing the wrap around into place. I had it built bigger off to one side so I could hide the dosing pumps and the ATO bucket. I also had them to make me a slide out that I could set the bucket on for the ATO so when we are filling it up it would make it a little easier to get to. Well here are a few pictures of it set up in place.










Besides.....I had to get something to match the new stand I put my new TV on ;D.


Give me a little bit to take a few more pictures and I will show you what it looks like with the doors open.

 

Very,very nice Yamaha,i really like the side cabinet,functional and blends in at the same time,thats a win-win.

ps-the new tv's not too bad either!

 

Thanks. I like them both . I needed something that would hide the clutter (as the wife calls it) and make it look a little neater.

 

Here are a few pictures of how it looks with the doors opened up so you can get an idea of how it is installed. It basically just slides in place.

 

LOL! Having 2 young kids,a dog,3 tanks plus all the baby's toys,jumper,my older sons xbox stuff everywhere,I know all about clutter! and anyway that you can hide some is to the good

 

thats an awesome looking stand! very nice finish

Oh and whats the specification on the new TV?

your tank=VERY SPECTACULAR!!!

 

Excellent upgrade to the stand. A very nice early Christmas present for the wife.

 

Nice stand, almost looks like there is enough room for a very uncluttered pico or nano, next to the DT.
