I got a new tank and I am building a stand to save money I got some plans from www.garf.org DIY area
 I started with some lumber I bought at lowes.Lowes will even cut the lumber at some locations I cut my own here is the frame all cut The mini Kregg jig makes screwing the wood together easy and it is strong  Here is the top and bottom frame  Next I put the uprights in and the top and bottom shelf  I added some pannels  This is as far as I got so far I will add some stain and trim  This post has been edited by CP: Wed, 30 Jun 2010 9:02 am Reason: Topic moved and title amended |

Nice
 However, suggest you put a piece of styrofoam (at least 1/2 inch thick) on stand before placing your tank; for even weight distribution. |

styrofoam is a good idea,I put some molding on
 I used stain because I had some already paint works well too  doors can be added for now I will leave the storage area open |

Wow, that looks great!
Kinda wishing I knew my way with those tools now.. I'd probably get myself in the hospital if I tried though.  |
