Ok here is the stand that I build this afternoon , it was 17C out what a great day to get building

Get the outer frame of the stand

used all 2x4's and that is a better way to build cheaper and easier ..this stand will hold a tank. PARDON THE BUND!!!!!!!!



I think it will hold 2400lbs

GOTTA Half a taste test to see if its REAL...


This is where its going on that wall. I'm thinking of how big of a cabnet on the left 12 " its just going to be for the ballasts and maybe some food and odds and ends and the Vortech's 40 and the new 60 once i get some other stuff..

how wide would you make it the one on the right will be 36 " i was looking at either 12 -24" is what i can put there.
