![]() The hanging frag tank is one of the coolest ideas I've seen. When was the house built? Looks like some monster beams/joists supporting the upstairs floor.

![]() The house was built in 2012, I got possession May 1, 2012. Fairly standard beams I think. The tank is hanging with 3/8 ready rod, unistrut under the tank, and unistrut holding the ready rod (There is aluminium pipe over the ready rod to give it a nicer look and add some rigidity) from the ceiling, the one side of the unistrut is on top of one of the main laminated beams, and the other is on top of the wall I built, and I just reinforced that wall with a few extra 2x4. I'm actually unsure if I want to keep the frag tank right now. |

![]() really nice work so far. even tho i wouldn't have left the stand completely unsupported in the middle i'm sure that will hold the tank just fine. is there a reason it's sorta open in the middle? you have the diagonal piece in there anyways which sorta kills that useable space...
and the hanging frag tank is awesome keep it! |
