I'm planning on building a new stand from wood for a 55 gallon tank. approx, width 12 3/4" x height 21" x length 48 1/2" is the size of the tank. The point of the stand is to put a DIY wetdry and overflow on the tank and be able to hide it all behind and under it. Currently I have all my equipment next to the current stand and tank because the stand I bought 7 years ago was stylish... It has no room to hide anything or put anything underneath it. Not to mention all the weight has started to make it weak.
So... my question is where do I begin with the framing? I mean, I do not want to over think this but I also want to make sure that the stand holds it when filled and that I do not over look anything?
Please point me in the right direction.
