I'm going to start on a new stand today. The new stand will be for a custom 40 gallon tank. Tank measures 3' x 18" x 16". This is a dual stand, with a second tank sitting on the bottom. I live in a tiny studio, so tools are limited to a handsaw, drill, and my own two hands. This is my second build in this tiny place. Here's a link to my last build. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?404785-My-DIY-stand-for-150-gallon-tank I will be ordering pine 2 x 4's today, and receiving them tomorrow.
 
Will be watching this. I'm obsessed with DIY. :)
 
This will be a very simple stand. I have two goals in mind. First, it will be very, very simple. There will be no skin, just a basic structure. I'm choosing function over beauty. Second, it will be holding two tanks. I may put in a shelf right above the bottom tank, still thinking on it. I'm clearing out room under my other stand. I will be putting another tank underneath that one. That tank will be 4' x 22" x 17". That's the whole reason I'm building another dual stand.
 
Nice job.
 
+1.

With the limited space and tools you do terrific work.
 
I like it. Basic design but very sturdy.
