Good point Sam but I think Brad is confident his test is adequate for the load bearing capacity of that stand :mrgreen:

Cheers

Nice looking sturdy stand.

Did you use screws? Did you glue the joints?

Screws, yes. Glue, no. The sheathing is glued onto the frame though.

Ah, I like the no brace for the sump idea. Whats this tank gonna be for Brad?

That was my first guess actually after seeing the picture. I didn't think you'd have use for a 40gal show tank. :lol:

Ah, frag tank. Gotcha. That was my guess anyways :lol:

Here's a pic of the project further along. I ran out of wood to finish the front, but you get the idea.

:eek: Holy cow it looks so good. You make it look easy.

...oops one more question. Where did you get the tank from and the dimensions?

Well, it isn't too difficult if you have the tools (like Steve does). And a closeup would show you how much is really left to do. Since this is just a rough setup, I won't put too much into it, but so far it took about 3 hours.
