WVU! Outstanding my friend. I graduated from WVU in 07. One week later I got 1g tank for me and my ex to put on the end table. Now Im building a SUMP for my 220g. You'll be asking dad to make room for ur 180g soon lololol. Good luck with the rest of the build.

I'll be starting my stand this weekend for my 75 and your stand is a match to mine. Did you screw the legs to the top and bottom or did u use 2x4on the inside to attach the legs?

 

[College fishman]

we made the top and the bottom first,gluing and screwing the pieces together.

then we made the outer legs, glueing and screwing those together.

if you look, there is also an inner leg that connects the top, middle, and bottom. we didnt glue anything to those supports so we could take it apart in the future if need be.
