will this wood hold this tank

[djlancer88]

psh yea of course maaan!!! that will hold. those 2x4's are stronger then most people think. i just hope your all square and level

ive got plywood 18mm thick to cover the top sides and back , where you see the big square in the middle thats where my sump s gonna be,

so i should put more studs in top of the frame?

I think it looks good structurally, with 18mm ply covering it that stand should be plenty strong.

Nice work.

It'll hold just fine. Can't wait to see the tank

Issues, not a lot of lateral strength. I assume you will skin it, that will help in that area.

The L brackets are not as strong as they seem; you might have been better putting the top & bottom boards on edge, & face gluing with nails/screws; then a second board to even the face to flush.

corners & some uprights looks mis-aligned & may not take a skin well, making a weaker overall stand.

Please don't think I am bashing your work, I just don't want to see water all over in the next set of photos.

the wood will hold, the joints may not..

you are doing a great job, however your 2x6 cross pieces should be on edge not flat, the strength you are looking for is the full 51/2 inches on edge.

okay so far, put to extra thick logs in and some more studs here and there, also some horisontal woods for strength also put the top and sides on, pff starting to feel massive, ive jumped on it, wouldnt even move, took a lot of spliff today because i only had a handsawlol

let me know what you guys think

WELL IF I LOOKED IT UP RIGHT YOU IN A STAND THAT WILL HOLD UP 5000 LBS. DO YOU THINK IT WILL HOLD? WHAT IS GOING IN IT? PUT UP PICS. WISH I HAD A TANK THAT BIG.

5 bux says pbass, nice stand. trust me when i say this, level, even smooth staraight surface is a must. and if i were you id chuck 50mm of styro inbetween ply and tank!

Dude, looking good! But from the second to last picture i think you live in a flat? Will the floor hold up that big tank?
