Default 60cm w/ diy stand

This is the hardscape of my new 60cm. The stand is made of 3/4" mdf. I got some stainless steel bar and heated it with a blowtorch, I then bent it to make a 90 degree angle. The bars are mounted behind the stand. The light is hung with wire and hardware. I created this peice of wood by drilling holes and inserting wooden dowels to hold them together, I also used 100% silicone in this process. To cushion the bottom of the tank I got some large mouse pads from office depot and cut them to fit. This is my first ada tank, supplies consists of:
