That's a good one!... It is hard to do my day job and keep this going... The only advantage I have is that I am a contractor.
Ummm, I’m first in line

OK, got a little time this Saturday to build the sub top for the stand.
The stand will sit 4" from the side wall and 4" from the back wall.
Normally, I would make the sub top 4" longer and 4" wider to automatically create the standoff for the tank.
BUT..... and this is really a big BUT..... Marine Grade Plywood was $176.00 for (1) sheet of 4 x 8...
Crazy!!!!
I work in construction and have been used to these weird lumber prices for a while... But man... it is different when it is your dollars!!!!
Anyways, I just made the top 4 inches longer on the left side. 4" is enough to get my MP40 Motors on that end of the tank.
Here are some pics:

Question to all:
Where is the best place to get the colored PVC.
I am going to do all my piping in black PVC with Grey Fittings and Valves and red knobs....

From what I understand Formufit PVC will work if you want color (I’ve heard Home Depot sells this but not 100%). The only outside recommendation is to get Cepek Ball Valves due to their higher quality and less prone to sticking.
BRS also sells colored PVC but I’ve heard the Formufit is cheaper. Hope that helps!

Yep, looks like they do sell it.
Also, looks like Formufit might sell direct to the end user as well.
