stand design

Designed it with google sketchup. Over the top design i know.. could probably support a small car. Made the edging larger than the actual tank so I can put plants around it.

that would be cool put some carnivorous plants around it like nepenthes and sarsinas

Dude, what size tank are you planning on putting on that thing? You could use it as a foundation for a freakin house!

You could really use it for any size. I'm only using it for a 70 gallon tank.. the extra bracing around the main frame is for plants, etc. And you probably could use it as foundation for a small house..

You have to overbuild them in Ottawa, for all the ice load.
Ya never know when you will be getting another ice storm!
