has anyone built a stand that can hold 2 125 gal tanks, one on top of the other. i know that the lower one might be too close to the groud, but it doesn't matter to me i just want to have one on top of the other. is this possible or not? if anyone has done a setup like this before could i get some pics and also how you may have accomplished this. thnaks.

you can get away with using 2"x4"s but safer to use 4"x4" for the corner legs.
you can even triple stack 125g
seen it done before.

use 4"x4" on all 4 corners and notch 2"x4"s top and bottom with 2"x4"s going front to back in between the 2"x4"s for bracing
here's a pic of my 30 minute stand used 2"x4"s all around instead of 4"x4"s

His stand looks really good. Just replace those side pieces that are there to keep the tank in place, use some 4x4 corners (1 piece all the way up) with a lot of bracing power in the middle.
u can get a metal stand from Homedepot "z beam" rated 2,500lbs per shelf for about $130 or so. Next week i will stack 2 125's and a 135 on the shelf =)
the z shelf may not work, a 125 gallon aquarium is 72 inches long and then you add half an inch to conpensate for the trim surrounding the top & bottom of the tank. Most of these stands measure exactly 72 inches. Turbo Vinney, have you measured this stand to be sure?
yup it fits, already got my 1 125 on it, I have to make a custom shelf that extends out for the 24" 135gfitznacio;1620218; said:
