I am about to start my build for my 125 that i got form phillip a long time back.
i was thinking about doing a metal stand but i think i will go with wood just because i can get it easy from lowes.
also debating to do a foam/rock wall again as it cam out sweet on my cube.

i am going to be running MH tell i decide to go with LEDS in the time to come .

open to ideas and helpful hints.

The stand build thread in the DIY section at Reefcentral has a guide on how to add legs and what not. We followed their directions for my stand and even without the middle support my stand is beefy, level and has zero sag in the middle.
