I though I would document the progress of putting in our new 230!!!
He is the opening before demo started!  He it is with cabinets removed and drywall taken out!!  He is the new stand I made for the tank...looks solid enough!!  He is the stand in place!!  Finished putting the plywood on and the foam.  Updated view...did some more demo, man did the previouse owner suck at doing drywall!!!  This is as far as I am atm....will post more pics when I get more done!!

Personaly I would consider turning at leats two of the 2 x 6 inwards, the warpage may allow the tank weight to bow out the front and back of the stand, even with a solid plywood front warpage is a mean problem.

here is the tank coming into the house!!!
 Unstraping the tank  lowering the tank  Getting Ready for the big lift!!   Sand castle inside the tank!!  After discussing with ed how long it would take to fill the tank with R/O i decided to go the garden hose way and a bottle of conditioner!!!  Intake for one close loop  This is one pump for the Close Loop, mounted to the bottom of the stand!  Me priming the close loop!  Full of water!  Wall built around!  Drywalled!!  This is as far as I am atm....will post more pics when I get more done!!

You know I would seriously consider plumbing that closed loop pump with hard plumbing. Maybe go with a union valve to make servicing easier. That vinyl tubing gets brittle over time and holy cow would you have a mess if it decided to let go.
Other wise it looks good. I have a 230g glass tank and I know that if I ever have to move it I better not ask the same guys to help me move as that helped get it in my house and up on the stand. They are probably still recovering.
