Aquarium Stand idea

[sostoudt]

left + right + middle = 3

counting isnt my strong suite, especially when i get distracted by avatars.. but still even 3 wont work.

now remembering counting isnt my strong suit, i count 6 stacks
3 in front, 3 in back

also if that wasnt against the corner, i would be worried about falling into it and causing the tank to topple over

I dont know alot about home consturction, but that seems like a lot of weight. 300 gallons, plus cinder block stand is easily over 3000 lbs. cinder blocks are 25 lbs each.

You can build the stand out of cinder blocks or 2x4s/4x4s. Either way will work. Camshaft's stand should work extremely well.

and notice the placement of the cinderblocks. They're not all going the same direction to help stability. The front left and back right corner.

And yeah, I guess technically, thats six stacks, but he was saying about making 3 rows, sides and middle, and thats basically what I did, but I needed room for a sump.
