I just picked up a Tru Vu 280 Gallon with center dual over flows. Drilled on each end for the returns. Tank foorprint is 96"x24"x30" I need ideas on a stand, I'm already thinking about cinder blocks. But might build one, not sure yet. As for the filtration i'm thinking of doing it Japanese style, anyone have any ideas on how i should approach this? Any input is appreciated, Thanks.

Using 2x6 and 4x4 lumber it wouldn't be very difficult to build a basic stand for that tank, Later on you can skin the stand in plywood to make it look nicer.
I may be in the minority here but whenever I see a cinderblock stand I hear the theam song from deliverance running through my head.

I don't think if its a good idea for me to use cinder blocks either, Earthquake country. I'll look into the wood stand, any ideas for a design?
Don't do the cinderblock stand. Looks cheesy and is unsafe. Why take the chance of destroying your tank, its inhabitants, and your floor if something happens....spend a few extra bucks and do it right.
