Does anyone have a blueprint for a 75 gallon stand. I am interested in making my own and have a few ideas.
I don't have a blueprint, but I will say using 2x4s worked well for my 100 gallon. Also, support your top rectangle well. last thing check the floor where it is going and make sure it is level. If not builds shivs/ramps for the whole stand to be on for stability.(you do not want to find out later that your floor is not level. Also, if you are using a sump, make sure you account for enough room to get it in and out/ work on it while the tank is running.
correction 2x4sI used two 1x4s in each corner for my 200 gallon. In fact I used all 2x4s except for the plywood top. Good luck!
I've built several DIY stands for tanks and racks and IME I would never use 4x4s. One 4x4 can warp over time and cause a really bad crash. I would highly suggest to use two 2x4's instead at each corner.
in my opinionWhat does IMO mean?
