On the custom stand that I have that will be supporting a 125 Gallon FW tank I was curious as to other's on supportive considerations. The tank is a 6 foot X 20 X24 with a custom pine stand purchased at the same time the tank was.
The tank itself sits on the stand and has solid support around it,s perimeter, sitting on solid wood. The bottom of the tank is the area I have a question on.
There are braces every few feet approx every 2 that go the length of the stand. As well there are uprights as well that support on the peripheral edges. I have read that some people will place the tank on another solid sheet of wood to add support. Is this over kill? I also do not want an out of balance tank the tank is perfectly balanced in every respect at this time.
Before I refill this bad boy (and I have once already to rinse it out, I want to be sure that I have the best support possible. Any suggestions are welcome, and I do have a thread in the FW setting up forum called thought this would be interesting as I am going to catalog and give a play by play on the setups and any pitfalls I encounter to help out someone in the future.
Thanks again!!
