Reza Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 (edited) Any good at building scruby? lol we ll find out i guess if you see a cheap house with indoor pool forsale the answer will be no Cinder blocks and 3/4 inch plyboard is working very well for my 135 gallon, even after I cleaned and switched the Rena XP3 back on with connecting the hoses properly. :banned: Took me 20 seconds to figure out where the spraying water noise was coming from last night. Cats found it very interesting. Edited March 8, 2006 by Reza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobsScrappySister Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Whatever you do, make sure that the weight will be properly supported! I know, we all think that we're doing that, etc., but you gotta be sure. Make sure your supports are UNDER the top board (or whatever), as opposed to attached to the side of the top board... I knew someone who used a desk with the sides being attached to the top instead of under it. It was for a 45 gallon, and lasted for about a week... then came crashing down in the night! You would not BELIEVE the amount of damage!!! Always err on the side of caution when it comes to setting up make-shift stands. If you do the cinder block thing, make sure you've got a good thick piece of plywood or MDF as your top, and then make sure it's waterproofed. Even if it's just a simple plastic lining on the top (a strong one), you need to protect it from water-damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
