My first DIY tankstand

[jdryden]

Well I have started to build my first tank stand. We started last night and were able to finish the top and bottom frames. Now I just need to decide on the height, and then reinforce everything. I'm hoping that it all works out, my 100G long is going to be on it. I'll post pictures as I get time.

good deal. Planning shortly on making my stand. I believe I have a 100 gal long as well (72x18x18). Planning on going a little higher then most stands to compensate for being such a shallow tank.

That's what I am debating right now. I would like to go about 36" to compensate for the short tank height, but at the same time I am afraid that it would be too top heavy.
