Plan for tank stand.

[fishy12]

Ok me and ma buddy came up with this idea for a stand. It will hold 2 tanks i hope. The bottom doors will slide out. And the one side door will swing out. The side door i will keep my supplies. And the bottom is where the sump tanks will be (thats y i drew the pipes running along there). My buddy was thinking for it to hold 2 200 tanks. Idk how we wld need to reinforce it to hold those. If u got any ideas how to fix the plan or how to reinforce it to hold the tanks. I am welcoming all ideas no matter how dumb they sound. So send ur help.

Yea thats what had me puzzled. Cause i knw normal wood cldnt take the weigh. Idk if i could run metal bars on the back? for support?

It can be done, but personally, I wouldn't want 200 gallons of water that high off the floor in my house. If the first step of your plan is to come to a forum and basically say...."Hey, design this for me." then maybe you should start with something a little less ambitious.

What are the dimensions of the tanks? I don't see this working with conventional tanks, I think the top of the highest tank will be up over 7 foot. This will also be very top heavy and I hope you have put consideration into where this setup will be placed in your house, because it will weigh an awful lot with a relatively small footprint.
