rED O Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 whatisthemetalfor?? It is for the stand. I did some work for a welder as a trade off to make me a stand. It is going to be very strong, a draftsman drew the plan up. It will have enough room under it for my 50 gallon and my sump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over exadurating, but It can hold lots. here are a few pictures of the stand( we are not setting it on the metal, we put plywood on the top and used counter sunk screws) gussets on all the conners to add extra strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
