I shot this with my smart phone so the quality might not be the best, but I just want to show you my setup at the moment.
I made the cabinet myself btw, just some quick measurement, a trip to homedepot and some wood glue.
I might change the cabinet door to something else soon, right now it's just white/gray plexiglass
Thanks everyone
Update: Shot with DSLR, 3 months in, this is the tank as of 1/27/16
Thanks everyone, the cost of the stand is roughly $80 or so and one of the most expensive things were the plexiglass. The wood and wood glue and 4x4 are very cheap and Home Depot cut them down to size for free.
The height of the stand is that much to ensure that when I sit in that chair my eye level will be at the middle of the tank.
( The chair is a knock-off of a well known mid century chair)
Thanks guys, I'll take no credit for the home since I didn't really change anything since we bought it. I am super proud of the tank however. A lot of research, help from others and a great deal of luck (found the tank for $169 for example, it's a 48.5g)
Some new shots with my DSLR (Canon 5D Mark II)
Trimmed all my blyxa, they grow way too fast, too bushy and somewhat breaks the composition I have in mind
and a fun long shutter shot
