building an aquarium stand

[cornbread_5]

hello everyone, whats going on. I am not not a carpenter and i am really not good with my hands when it comes to building things. I want to build a wooden stand for a standard 125 gal aquarium with space underneath to but a 40 gal breeder , or a 60 gal or a 90 gal , so like to tanks one beneath the other and then cabinets for storage

Cornbread.... I'll see if I can't find my camera to snap some pictures of the stands I'm building. I'm using nice pine rather than the press board stuff. One stand is for a 150 "almost" cube tank and another for a 240 acrylic.

Here are some of my previous creations.....

Another endeaver..... these held up 125g. glass tanks that weighed 200 lbs. without water.

My last setup..... went with powder coated racks that were adjustable and affordable. As you can see I've tried just about anything. I'll still look for my camera to show you my "nicer" stands.

House_64, you have a really nice set up. I keep fronts in a 125 also, seeing the racks that you have is really cool. What kind of metal stand is that and where did you get it? They look really sharp next to those matching new tanks. Also, what is that 4-foot black plastic container called? I saw something similar to that when I was in Alaska. Where did you get it? That would be a great place to grow out fry.
