10foot stand

if not marked its a 12inch space. the tank is 10 by 5 by 32inch tall would this stand work? i need the 64inch gap to get my sump in.

All those lines are 4x4? Yeah,I think that will be plenty.

i was worried about the front since no brace in the center its off centered. if you cant tell i get 4x4's free lol. my sump at its least widest point is 63inches its a 63x69x25

Bro you would be better off screwing two, 2x4s together. 4x4s warp and twist, this could have a bad affect on the stands integrity.

I dont think having the brace off center will be an issue. I do agree with sandwiching 2x4s together instead of using 4x4s. Also, why not keep the center brace in the center and just have it removable? I would build tank and stand, install sump, do all the plumbing and then add the center brace. The only drawback is the sump is in there unless you lower the water enough to remove the brace.

if i remove it when my tank is full id imagine id get some good saging until i put the brace back. i dont have access to the sides i wish i did.

Just pick straight DRY 4x4 and they won't twist or warp.

im just wondering will the front hold as drawn. because i really have no clue how to be able to get my sump in and out through the front with out it drawn as such.

Like said earlier why not just put in the sump then install a center brace if needed. How many times do you need to remove the sump when the tank is full? I have had to do it 0 times on my 240 and believe that is pretty normal.

im just thinking if the stock tank leaks.
