Looking for some direction on building a stand for my 220, I got a free stand with the tank but it looks so flimsy I got fathom it holding when the tank is full of water. I'm either leaning at a stand fully compromised of 2X6's or 2X8's stacked and cross braced. I'm going to look at also making sure there is enough room for a 55 or 75 gallon sump underneath as well. If you could post some pics I love looking at people's DIY stand builds. Thanks!

Figured i would link my latest build thread in which has my stand build and sump setup among other stuff:


My stuff is pretty rudimentary. There are tons of fantastic builds way more complex and in depth than mine on here though.

You could build the whole thing with 2x4s for a 220, but maybe use 2x6 for veryical supports if you wanted. Heres an older stand i built for a 225 out of 2x4s and 2x6s
