With the All Glass or other tanks that have a rim or trim piece, the full top is not necessary because the bottom glass never sits on the stand, only on the trim which sits on the edges.

Anyway, once again my two or twelve cents worth. Great work. Any new pictures so far?
Thanks for the input IN. With regards to the ply, I agree with you. The main reason why I added it was to keep as much dripping out of the stand as possible. I also wanted to keep the foam bed going under the tank from saging into the cabinet space.
