Thanks.Just picked that tank up what a heavy b1tch.But anyhow the front support will have multiple 2x4s behind it and skined was also going to skin all the framing.
Thanks for the advice guys.Hoping to get this going soon.
Can't wait to get it setup.I need holes in the top of the stand not in the back.

Sounds like the guy I bought my 250 from. He was in a bind and had to sell at any cost. It killed him to have to sell.

My 250 weighs 368 pounds empty (it is glass). They are not light. I had to unload it by myself.

 

[Nate77]

Yeah this ones glass.I swear i thought he was gonna cry.I don't know how you mannaged to unload that yourself thats nuts.

 

[Nate77]

Will this work or do i want to turn the top and bottom horizontal 02x4s on the 2 inch side?

The way you made your frame is genius, so you frame the front and the back separately then simply connect the two together. Do you find it easier doing it this way vs the traditional top/bottom first ?
