stand

Hi, so I plan on building this wooden rack for a few small tanks. It will be 2 shelves, the wood I'm planning to use is ~2cm*4cm + 4.5cm square lumber The load will be 100kg at max (220pound) per shelf Each contact point will take 2 screws + wood glue Here's a picture of the wood...

If you look at the photo above there are essentially 4 legs that hold this tank up. I love the look and simplicity of this. So my curiosity is, do you think something similar could be done with steel legs? If made from box tubing, maybe a simple window frame look. Think, 4 vertical supports...

Just a minor question: I've noticed there's some minute gaps between my 120 gallon tank and its stand where I can see light passing through the gap if I put my eye directly up against the stand-tank interface. From what I've read, you only need truly solid contact at the corners, but I'm not...

Starting to build stand this weekend. Tank i ordered is 96*30*24. Will be wooden 2*6 frame wrapped in med-x MDF (wood countertops made of water resistant) and painted. Some input required What height would you recommend for cleaning purpose. Never had such a tall tank before. (Filtration is 2...

So wife wants new hardwood floor and my 120 gallon has a small crack on a seam. Holds water now just fine just don't wanna risk moving again. So I just ordered a new tank. 8 feet long 30 inches wide and 24 inches deep Starfire from Pannell regular glass all other panes. 3-4 weeks away. Now the...

I was hoping someone could help me can I put a 5' aquarium on a 6' stand without any worries? Should I place a 6' piece of plywood ontop to support the whole tank? I have a 110 gallon 5'X18"X24" Acrylic fish tank and found a nice stand that is 6'X18" supposedly made of Oak but even if it was...

Just got my first custom stands back from the fab shop! Super excited and will be cleaning, light sanding, then painting them with truck bed liner this weekend. In hopes of helping someone that is in my same position I was, I thought I would take a little time and post my mock up blueprints...

Recently acquired a 180 gallon and plan on setting it up next to my 240 only problem is that the 180 is 30" tall and my 240 is 24". Those of you that have multiple tanks/systems running next to each other or lined up against a wall, do you prefer to have your aquariums in alignment from the...

Hi People I'm looking for a cheapish option to hold 4 tanks (1x29g, 1x15g, 1x10g, and 1x5g) would something like this be ok? Most DIY options are out of the question due to a bad knee injury. Also, I had been looking at pallet racking but no one delivers in Australia for such a small amount...

Hi guys, I'm getting ready to move in to a new house and thinking about taking this opportunity and upgrading my one 90 gallon I have to a 125. I've looked at petsmart and saw their tank and stand combos but the stands just look cheap. I'm looking to find somewhere to get a stand without...

Well, since my convicts need to be moved out of the 90 I picked up this guy off craigslist for 95 bucks since it came with a stand and a heater and an ac20. Previously the guy I bought it off used the tank for corals and small reef fishies, and he was all excited that I'm using it for cichlids...

I am currently trying to set up a 125 gallon tank in my fish room. My son made the stand for me (with a tiny bit of my help), and when we finally got it in my fish room we were both amazed at how level it appeared to be. We set the tank on top, and I noticed gaps between the tank and the stand...

Hey guys, just wondering if these metal shelving rack will carry the 120 gallon on top and 40 gallon breeder + 15 gallon on the middle. Or any ideas to modify the rack to become sturdier to support the 120 gallon glass tank. Thanks

I am building a large reef this summer, a 240 gallon plywood tank (the design is the one from Advanced Aquarists with a few changes), and I'm working on the stand design right now. I'm basing my stand design off of the article on Instructables titled "Aquarium Stand With Secret Door For Sump"...

So my floor where i want to place my tank stand is quite wavy ,as in there are highs and lows . Which means the stand wouldnt be fully supported around the base. Which doesnt sound good to me. So . My idea is to place styrofoam down first. Like what people use under acrylic tanks. Then i would...

Hey guys, Looking to build out a new stand and canopy for my 75 Gallon. Need a new project to keep me busy so I figured I would upgrade from the stand I have. Just wanted to see if anyone had some good plans for a build and if anyone knew of some good ones that I could find online. Any help...
