new tank update+the stand

wuelfman · 08-09-2001, 10:41 AM

well the tank has been odered )last week)
i decided that it was better to go with the tank made through the lfs. this way i know its safe and will work it will cost more but the piece of mind will be worth it

72x30x24 (225 gallons)
just finished up the stand for it too. all ihave to do is skin it and stain it
its made out of 4x4 post noched out to hold 2x6 on top with a 2x6 beams every 14 inchs
2x4 brace the bottom
all held geather with lag screws
this sucker is rock solid
total cost so far less then $100
this cost will double as i know get the nice wood
the stand is 38 inchs high also
i also now have to move my two other tanks to make way for the new king of the tanks

Hey Paul, sounds like fun. Sounds like you decided to go with that acrylic tank that you were contemplating. That sounds like one heck of an overbuilt stand

. Think you can help me build a stand like that for my 28g quarantine tank

. I just read that thread talking about earthquakes in CA and really don't want it to go down.

Are you going to be able to make it to the BARE meeting this week?
