Hello all
I am new to this forum and look forward to gaining new knowledge here as I have been out of the hobby for about two years now.
I am getting antsy to set up a tank I got from my old boss a few years ago... A Big tank like Ive always wanted.. 96X24 1/2 X 24!!
It even came with dual wet dry, protein skimmer (Need Bigger though), coral (crushed and decorative) and I picked up a chiller too for free.
Now I need to build a stand... does anyone have plans or know of necesary sizes in the wood used? ie. are 4X4's strong enough for support legs etc.???
I was thinking of going with eight 3' 4x4's with 2x4's around them on top and bottom ( I want to bolt everything together in case of need to move (if possible?)). I then figured on putting a 1/2" sheet of plywood on the top. I will then figure out a casing for it later....
Any plans or pics links etc would be appreciated...
Thanks
Mike
