50g Tank Stand

[Raignis]

I couldn't find a stand that I liked for my 50 gallon so I decided to make one. We've got kind of a rustic theme in the house so, I decided to go the pallet route and make one out of pallets. I didn't take any pictures during the main build because it was the typical 2 x 4 stand.

I used a Minwax water based stain on it with the polycrylic top coat and I'm pretty happy with the results.

Looks nice! What's the internal frame made of?

Edit: D'oh! Never mind, I just saw the 2x4 mention.

looks good I like the rustic look . just be sure you have enough support to hold weight of the water. I always have safety first on my mind

Very nicely done!

Thank you! The internal frame is like the one attached except I added a vertical brace on the front and back to support the middle.

Sounds like you had a good plan: I'm a great believer in over-building.
