My first DIY stand

[CichlidDan]

This is the frame for my first diy stand, no cross bracing yet but it is coming, just wanted to know what you guys think, anything I should add or change?
Its made just from cedar 4x4's so I'm hoping it will be able to hold up my 170gal, dimensions or stand are 73"x31"x28"

Are you sure it's strong enough? lol That things a beast!

Good job

I don't think you'll have any issues holding that tank up haha.

If you're going to skin it with plywood that would be enough for lateral support.

Wow that thing is huge!

Looks like I could park my truck on it. Great job so far.

you could park a 1ton crew cab pick up on it. I dont think 1700 pounds will be a problem.

Yeah your not going to need any cross bracing.. all cedar 4x4s you could hold 5 times your 170.
