Hello all. I am looking to build a stand to hold 2 3x2x1.5 tanks. Lower tank will still need to be raised roughly 18" off the ground then some clearance above it before a 2nd on top. Could people please send images and designs of stands they have made to stack tanks.
Thanks.

Here is my 8 place 29g rack.

Take all of your uprights and clamp them together so that the bottom ends are flush. This is super critical. Set your saw depth to 1.5in which is the thickness of a 2x piece of dimensional lumber. Cut notches the same size as your cross members. These should be a little tight.
