Default aquarium stand plans

Was searching the internet for a aquarium stand plan and all I could find was sites asking for money. Does anyone have a good site where I can get some plans?

Thanks in advance.

Mostly everyone uses these plans when building a diy stand out of wood.

completely agree with bandit here, i wish i had an extra 3-5 inches oh how sweet that would be, its so annoying to have built my stand wrong that it makes me want to get a new tank, btw i used the same plans from the link, strong as an ox,but i think there are draw backs the 2 by 4s take up way too much realestate if u are making the stand flush with your tank. next time i'm going metal stand and proper skinning. just my 2 cents

What kind of stand are you thinking of building wood or metal frame?
