My DIY stand
I don't have any production pictures, but it should you show the general idea on how to assemble a very sturdy stand. It's pretty simple to build, because it kind of squares itself.
I got the idea off of another member on here. It's also the same design as my 120 and 220.

That's awesome work man. That's an impressive tank stand. I wish I could build stuff. I tried to build a sandwich and failed.

It's a 180. I think the overall cost on this stand was around $70 which includes, 2x4's, 1/8" pine 4'x8' sheet, misc. trim, and 3/4" pine for the doors

By squeezing those horizontal 2'x4's in between the vertical ones, it seems to level everything out. You just have to make sure that you cut all of the pieces exactly the same. I never worried about putting any styro. on it, since it seemed to be nice and square.

Over-engineered? Where?? Don't have a clue what you're talking about!! That stand looks awsome, bro. I love a good looking lump of solidly built furniture!
A question, though...

...isn't styrofoam supposed to provide some cushion for the glass under the weight of all that water?
Great work, anyway!
