I hate to sound like my 7 year old with the questions, but how did you get the top part of the base (the part that the tank actually sits on) to overhang yet still sit on the rails securely? Is it thicker stock?

EDIT: After looking at it some more, maybe the top rails are just wider stock (1x6?) and the top trim is just wrapped around that?

[BUELLER]

no problem with the question's. the base is the exact diamentions of the tank and the top rim [ molding ] is wrapped around the stand 1 1/2 above the base to cover the black rim of the tank when it is sitting on the stand. Also, the cleats for the canopy is also 1 1/2 from bottom of canopy so when it sit's on top of the tank ya don't see the top black plastic rim....finished product wood and all glass....giddy up
