Finally got the 46 ready to go. 2x8 platform with plywood top. 1 1/2" pink styo on top of that. Then a couple layers of soft white foam just to make the bottom more visually appealing.

Decided to spend $9 to get a sheet of wainscoting paneling to finish the bottom and hide the foam. Creative stand building to make the tank fit.
Thanks for the trade Bill. Not to bad for a curb pick up now I'd say.

No Bill, I built it from scratch. Cost me about $18 I figure. The insulation was all scrap. Bought the paneling, plywood, and 2x8s. I had all the hardware and saws to cut it. Do you recognize the tank on that stand?

They're a cute art deco in a community or grow tank once in a while. Haven't had them out in a while. All the shells and corals are from vacations, most of them from Cozumel.
