I need a stand built, out of wood. A stand for a 12x2x2 , could anyone tell me how many 2x4s i would need / the material list and maybe a drawing diagram? this would be so much appreciated ... i need it so i can give it to my wood working friend so i can get this stand build , and build the acrylic tank to get started. Ill be posting pics of the stand being built , and the acrlyic tank.... who knows it could just be your stand design that gets built :D

Quick replies would be great as my fish are stilll at the fish store

Please help me out
 
check out my photo album under tank build...put vertical 2x4's every two feet..free of charge.

skin it to match your furniture taste but frame will be sound.

only problem is i need to get a 3-4ft sump inside thats a foot wide.

i dont think that stand would provide the door room i need
 
1500 dollars is rediculas I built mine with the canopy for under 300. If people pay 1500 dollars for a tank stand then I am in the wrong line of work. Granted mine is only for a 6X2 but I am sure you could build it for under 600.
 
If my dad wasn't away I could have gotten one to you. We are building a stand for my recently aquired 300 gallon, and he built me one out of redwood for like $400 (his money of course) for my 140 gallon and we have a redwood canopy that is like halfway finished that was from extra materials that has been halted on being worked on due to this damn economy, I'll post a pic to show you what it looks like.
This pic is before I added a few more coats of stain and handles, both of this were taken on my cellphone, so excuse the quality.
