    I have a DIY Tank Stand project I did for a MUCH larger tank in the DIY section.

    It is not that hard to do, here is the link: <a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.theexoticfish.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=660" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=29&t=660</a>

    The one thing about a 55 that makes building your own stand harder than other tanks is the tiny footprint from front to back.... You could always build a pedestal for a base to make the bottom a bit bigger than the tank.... think of a bar that has a footrest made of wood on it.

    I do like your rockwork. I agree with everyone else about the stress on that table.... it would be horrible to see that table give way under all that weight. Rocks add a lot of weight faster than even the water :confused:
