Grizz's 116 gal FOWLR rebuild - 90% done but up & running

[The Grizz]

Well finally got around to building the steel frame stand for the tank. I went with 30" tall & put adjustable feet as well.



Cut a piece of G1S spruce for the top & added some 1/2" styro. Here's what it looks like with the tank on it.

Nice welding Dan

Coming along Greg, looks good. What kind of levelling feet do you use?
Screw type?

Yes slowly but surely it will be done. I used 3/4" A325 structural bolts, welded the nut into the bottom of the HSS still have to cut some 1/4" x 4" round plates to weld to the bolt.

Sorry Greg
Nice welding.

There are co here in the lower mainland that have round plates punched out from previous jobs. Maybe you could find some up there?

All good I have been called worse

I use a 4" solid round bar to set my bandsaw blades, they are useless for anything else but make great foot pads for stands.

Thanks Brett, hope to get a one piece euro cut for it soon and build a sump so I can get it plumbed.

Greg.... I gotta ask...just how many tanks do you HAVE ?

I've been around here about a year now and it seems to me that once a month or so, you post a thread about some new tank !!!

So you've got, what, 3000 Gal of salt water in your place ?

Enquiring minds want to know !
