DIY Stand

[LouieB]

I found a nice website Imo for building an aquarium stand. I followed and made minor changes as I went. Here are some pictures of my finished product . Its for a 125gal tank. This is the link to the website FYI http://ovas.ca/index.php?page=32

Very nice work. That looks great.

Thanks, it's just 2x4 covered with some 5/16 waynes cotting and the molding give it a nice look. Also that stud in the middle is removable so I can take the sump out if I need to. Also I was worried about the weight so I picked up 2 adjustable jack stands from HD ($60 for both) and put them in the basement under the floor joists with two 2x8 headers sandwiched to make a header, I can sleep better now..

great job on the stand, and the molding is a nice touch.

I built something similar for my 55gal. but I didnt double up the 2x4's. How tall is it?

Very nice. It looks very well built. I could probably use that thing to hold up my car!
