125 gallon tank stand DIY

[yellowoman]

here are a few pics of the stand we are building. the person in the pic is my husband (frontosa_man). its going to be used as a reef tank set up. its 72" long x 19" deep x 36" tall. i will post more pics as it comes along. let me know what you think.

looks like it's coming along amazingly, the only thing I'd suggest is to put another support in the middle of the back of the stand if youre not already intending to do so.

good luck, can't wait to see how it will go down.

it will be installed after the sump goes in
thanks for the input!

What type of wood is that? Pine or Hardwood?

That is going to be one spendy tank by the time you get it completed! Good thing your building your own stand!

After buying Live rock and all the things to set that tank up reef, including finding an intense enough light to penetrate the 30" depth on the tank, you might need to eat your own fish!

Hehe Good Luck! Can't wait to see pictures of it completed!
