My dual tank design. Input please

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I got the stand done yesterday. My girlfriend and i made it together. She like fish. I had a bunch of 2x4s around the house so i only had to by nails and 2 2x2s, so i spent a whole $13. Its not the nicest working but does its job. Just need to coat the plywood then rearrange my room and it will be goood.
 
here a picture from last night. after i get out of work, im going to try and get everything set up. i sat on it yesterday and tried rocking it a little, the only movement came from the carpet. so its pretty solid. I am hoping it works. This is my first stand i built.

LOL that will work fine. It's way over built and that's a good thing! My only concern is the rocking left to right? If you think it's solid then don't worry about it or just skin the back with 1/2 sheet of plywood.

Damn nice build BTW!
 
thanks, its wouldn't rock with me on it and trying to force it. it has about 85 screws or 1 box of them. im hoping to plywood it tonight. it took me about 4 hours and i didn't get done till about 10pm. Im hoping it holds well with about a 80g tank on top and a 55g on the bottome(in the future, right now its going to be a 20g.
