so before the chinese new year, my parents want me to incorporate an aquarium stand into an existing ledge/short wall we have at the foyer. the floor is tiled there so i will be building on top of the tiles and near attaching it to the ledge and supporting the weight of the tank using studs (2 x 4).

the aquarium is about 62 inches long and so is the straight part of the ledge.

so the help here is which do you all like here?

this is easy but that part of the ledge still sticks out

this was a thought, but not sure if this looks good or if this one does...

i also thought to do like the first one and just knock out the rest of the ledge and re-do the tiles. the reason i can't just make the entire ledge the desired depth is because there are tiles on the bottom that would just show still

sorry, this might have been better in the how-to forum, but i figured this was not really asking how, but for opinions and this forum gets more traffic. thanks all
