Is your tank glass plywood or acrylic ?
My tank is going to be glass (72x36x30), from glasscages.com
Also, if you click on the photos they will enlarge.
I'm going to keep it a mostly SA setup. I have some pbass and fei fengs that I'm growing out, a silver aro, a crenicichla sp. venezuela, m. uranoscopus, and maybe a couple geos. I'd like to have a couple pims in there too, if I can get my hands on a juruense or something. I'm thinking about trying my hand at rays too (I kind of had that in mind when I decided to make it 36" wide), but time will tell.
I'm about to start construction on my tank stand. It will be very similar to the one dacox has built. I was wondering if adding a piece of plywood underneath the stand would make any difference? The stand will be placed on top of carpet. Will the extra plywood distribute the weight better over the carpet and make leveling any easier? It's concrete underneath the carpet so no worries about floor support.
