And I even have a backup plan. We had extra support for a tank built into our flexroom. Right now that is being used as a playroom.

I built the stand in the garage and then had to take it apart to get it into the house.
   The stand is built like a house. I used 2 x 6's for the walls and floor joists. 1/2 inch ply was used for the bottom and 3/4 ply for the top.   And my little helpers........   Scott

Here is the tank.....84 x 30 x 27. I did a water test in the garage because the day the tank showed up a few people who thought they could help move the beast into the house weren't able to make it. There was only 5 of us the day it arrived.
   And just a little problem.......  Turns out I had time to add a little silicone. Scott

Thank you for all the pictures of your stand. Now I won't feel bad when I make my new stand and use a few extra pieces of lumber.

Scott,
Excellent thread so far. I'm building a house later this year and my future tank is a huge part of that. Who did your tank for you? Are any of the panels starfire?
