Like I said I just finished my stand for a 150. When building it I decided to put in two extra 2x4 bracing across the top. total of six all together...well my dumb ass dind think ahead when adding the second suport and now that I put the tank on top I realize the are blocking 2 1/2 inch drain holes (not the main 1 inch sump holes but still...Im ****ed! What an idiot!!!!

[fishingaddict]

No i made sure to measure that are 4 times so i didn't block the holes.
Now i just got to figure out if i want to cut out the whole over flow box or just the drain and return holes in the top.

The tank looks great. It's good to see it up and running. Wish I had the room for that tank. :)

[RS2000]

[Nate77]

Thanks for the comments.It needs trim on the top and bottom to hide the styro and a set of doors on the filter side,going to put a 30 gallon breeder on the other side.But thats on hold until i get some other projects done around here.

[Razman]

Im totally copying u/....

lol, same here, im just building a little stand for my 40gal. nice stand.

[Noodles]

Great work Nate, outstanding!:drool:. Puts my Homer Simpson efforts to shame.

I still can't believe you were allowed to build that in the house. My gf would cut my b***s off if I even looked like cutting lumber inside :nilly:.

I'm saving this thread for my next construction effort. Keep posting pics!

[Razman]

i got a calculater and multiplied 72X30X24 and got 51840,
divided that by 12 three times and got 30,
and multiplied 30 by 7.5 and got 225. how did you get your answer?(im such a nerd:headbang2)

[Nate77]

Tank is 7'x2'x2',so i took 84"x24"x24"/231

Guess i was asleep when i posted the dimensions.LOL
Thats the dimensions of the stand but should be 84"x24"x30"
