I am just starting a new 230 gallon reef. I should be picking up the tank in 2 weeks. I am just working on the stand now.
Say goodbye to the China cabinet (YES!

)
Figuring out the footprint.
Checking the wall for hidden obstacles.
The wife's fears realized! She knows there is no turning back now.
Center support loose fitted. I had to cut out a 2x4 from the wall so I am figuring out the best way to re-direct the load.
There will be another 4x4 inside the wall directly behind the first one, below the 2x6. The 4x4's will not sit side by side in the final assembly, probaby 2 inches apart in order to hit the floor joists properly.
