Greeting folks. Just joined the group here. I have been looking for some ideas and direction on building a rack for a 150 gallon 6ft aquarium I may soon be getting. I have seen plenty of great DIY stands as I have been searching. They kind of are all running together in my head. My problem is I don't see any for my particular needs. Basically, I am looking to sort of copy my 77" Gladiator Shelf system.

The 150 would go where the 75 is on the first shelf. The new rack would, preferably, need to stand in roughly the same footprint and have open fronts. I live in a mobile, I have 2.5" of hardwood plywood on the floor. The setup is directly very the two metal beams and blocks that the trailer sits on. So I'm not worried about it falling through the floor. I have had the setup in the picture going for about 9nkonths with no issue. Thank you in advance for any help. Have a great day.

Hi and welcome! Im not an expert but I just built a stand for 75 gallon and was super paranoid about the type stand to use. I used wood for my stand and it is absolutely solid as can be. Not sure if you want to do a build but if you can I highly recommend this build


This is for a huge aquarium so take the design and customize for your tank size
Beautiful set up you have by the way!
