treated or untreated 2x4's for diy stand?

[StevieD]

planning on doing a "standard" diy 2x4 stand, based off of one for 2 55 gallon tanks, just adding a 3rd level.... anyway, regardless, i cant seem to remember which was better when searching builds.

so treated or un-treated...?

I would say untreated would be fine. Are you putiing the tanks on concrete?

 

[StevieD]

yep, stand will be in my basement, which is concrete with a very thin carpet which i might remove for the area of the stand

I do not think it matters.

You will be fine with untreated you can paint it or prime it if you are worried about moisture..
