180 gallon DIY stand question

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
just got up, when I go down to fish room, I will take pics, it is crooked, a little more woobly than Id like; the cross supports and main vertical support have one giant anchor screw. you can twist the supports around in cicrcles since it has only one screw in middle of supports, and yea the 2 ends to the top frame that the width of the tank is sitting on, one is longer thank the other. Guy said he had it filled since Dec and drained it day before yesterday, still to iffy for me. sorry to OP for hijacking
 
i built both my stands ( 125 and 180 ) so that the top rim of the tank is just under my arm pit. it makes reaching into the tank for maintenance or re-decoration so much easier when i can stand on the floor and reach the bottom without needing a chair or step of some sort. i build the upper and lower rectangle frames from 2x4's ripped to 3" so my vertical pieces come in right around 19 or 20 inches.
