Hi! So my lovely husband has agreed to make me a stand for my next tank! I only have a 12 gal at the moment, and have fallen so completely in love with this hobby I already am on the lookout for my next tank! I will be getting a 45-50 Gal tank and he is going to build me a stand! The only problem is he has no idea where to begin! How do we make something that will hold that much weight? Any tips or advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated! :-D
 
Glad to Help. I used that link to build the stand I'm working on right now.

The hard part is finding straight lumber. haha
 
Wow, thanks for that link Neilan. I'm considering building a stand for a 40 breeder, but I needed a very basic design and that is perfect!
 
Ha...Nelian beat me to it. That is a great link and an on going discussion of stands and how, using the basic design on the first page, people have supported a wide range of tanks.

I also used the same design when building the stand for my current 120g tank.
