ryukin81 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) i built this this 25 gal tank stand for my gf which took over 6 months on and off because i didn't have a set plan. pretty much went with what i felt at the time. thought it would be cheap but was wrong. plus it weighs a ton. moving it around was a #%$^. finally finished painting it after last winter. i liked how it came out but if i had to put that much work into a stand again it would be for tank not smaller than a 4 footer.

Leon71 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well done... :thumbs: ......you can't buy stands like that. Definitely worth the time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James (Western Canada) Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 VERY NICE!!....but you are right, it's alotta work. I personally ptrefer steel,(plus I have the skills & tools to work with steel:) as it takes up less space, and in most cases will be lighter than a wood stand......and it wont warp if you get it wet..... My 90g stand was fabricated from 2" x 1" tubing There are pics & comments that go along with each pic in the gallery.... Once again, VERY NICE!!.... I till need to make a proper canopy for mine....
