Centered or not???.

[Bob 1000]

I first thought I should keep the tank to the right side of the stand.. As my calcium reactor, skimmer, and denitrifier will be to the opposite side in a cabinet sits above and goes all the way though the stand when it's all said and done..

Now I'm having second thoughts and thought, Lets see what some other people say.. This will be one of my typical "different builds",,lol.. But as usual building for myself is very complicated..
So what do you guy's and girls think left, right or centered???
Don't mind the dirty square, tank that is the soon to be the display.. The square tank is 48in by 48in.. The sump will be a 125 gallon tank,, yes over kill is the theme..

WOW ... that tank looks very hot, can't wait to see what you do with it..

What do you think centered or not??

 

[joemac]

hard to say T. are you adding anything to the side if you center it,
my personal preference would be on the side..

 

[Bob 1000]

Thanks I was thinking the side also but it will remain like a diamond on the stand though, just to be different..

At first I thought this was a question about you
Then I saw it was about a tank ..took all of the fun out of it Tobin! lol

I'd put it to one end..my choice would be left side - easier to take pics of it from 2 sides..but either side is cool. IF you change your mind, you can always add something next to it

I don't know why,,lol.. Thanks for this treasure Alex wait until it's done this week..

You are going to have an acrylic tank overhanging on two of the four corners? With no solid support under it? :bigeyes:

 

[pmoneyt]

I would do center if your keeping it in the diamond pattern.

 

[sweetsop]

I would also center it, don't put anything on the sides, and really let it be the main focus.

 

[Bob 1000]

I like the left side too Kathy..

Cali_reef only about 6in over hang and it will be supported from 4 points towards the center.. More than enough support and the stand is only half finished 1in fished plywood will add even more support and make the over hang smaller by 2in..

Pmoneyt The center could could be a good deal also.. By tomorrow at noon I will be making my decision and it's still a hard one..

Sweetsop I want it to be the main focus either way.. The hanging canopy will more than give it that focal point I'm looking for..
Thanks all keep the suggestions coming please... I always have the hardest time working on my own furniture, and my wife is always behind me as long as it doesn't take forever for me to finish it,,lol..
