75g stand help - Aquarium Advice

msuburg · 01-05-2005, 02:12 PM

Hello,

I've finally decided to make the upgrade to the 75gallon tank, I bought the tank itself. My friend is going to build me the stand. This tank has to be drilled on the sides, not the bottom. Does anyone have some plans for building a stand or some links to sites? Thanks!

Matt

Many use garf's stand plans. With [acronym:15a36de0e4="Do it yourself"]DIY[/acronym:15a36de0e4] your options are unlimited a quick google search im sure will bring up tons of plans but I really like garf.

Does this friend get to buy power tools?

The google search seems to work the best for me

Just got donne with mine. I draw plans for work and diden't want to draw one for my hobby so i freestyled it. Came out very petty.
I was just building a frame out of 2 by 4s, stuck 1/2 inch furniture grade plywood to the outside, cut out the doors and put a couple of trim peaces on to it.
I posted a picture on this site.

I don't think this friend needs to buy new power tools....but it sure would be a good excuse for him to buy them.

(I'm the wife of this friend, [acronym:e28f3bd35b="By the way"]btw[/acronym:e28f3bd35b])

Although, I do agree that a google search works best.
