you could save money most likely by getting 2x6 or 2x8 which would be stronger and use less wood for the frame if its bolted to studs in a wall.you need to share the idea with a blueprint if you need some advice.and pictures help.
DIY rack system for 9 tanks. Will take a while

IMO if you are running the tanks all off of one central system, I would just drill the top corners, a durso will take up un necessary room, and this way you'll have more room, and then it looks neater, and works better.
I would explain more but im tired lol.

I decided that it would be better to drill the corner than the bottom. I will look cleaner and take up less room.The rack will hold 6 20 gallon tanks. I changed the original design. I'm not sure if I already mentioned it though.
I'll need:
3) 300w heaters
24) bulkhead fittings
7) elbows
12) threaded elbows
20) feet of 3/4" tubing
1) end cap
38) threaded hose barbs
2) diamond hole saws
2) "Y"'s
9) ball valves
10) "T"'s
2) check valves
20) pvc x reduced threaded 3/4" barbs
20) packs of scrubbies
1) airline check valve
That is for the filtration. I'm almost done with the sump, I just need to take a few more trips to home depot. Then tanks, and then I'll be ok.
