I might be buying my lumber today and starting my build.
*My first question is:
If I do exterior bracing with 2x4s - do I drill THROUGH the inside of the plywood into the 2x4s?
OR, do I build just a shell around the plywood tank, with NO screws going into the plywood? Sort of just butt it up against the plywood?
Unsure if the plywood sides needed to be fastened or not.
*My next question:
I'm probably going to build a cinder block tank stand. B/c it's cheap and mega easy. I'll buy a bunch of blocks
Do I put a piece of plywood over the top of the cinder blocks? Or can I set the frame of the bottom of the tank directly on top of the cinder blocks?
*Next question:
What are all the alternatives to exterior bracing - except for 2x4s?
