  • Making a stand

    Can someone give me some pointers on making a stand? I dont know what kind of wood i need, what to build it with 2x4, 2x6, 2x8 (tank is 75 gallons).I want a stand like the one below but have no earthly idea on how to make it. If you think thats too difficult then my other stand of intrest is here http://www.google.com/imgres?q=fish+...:4,s:150,i:231

    my 75g is sitting on 18 cinderblocks... been happy for a few years that way. theres space for storage underneath, and when i want it to look nice, i have a black linen skirt i wrap around it. i can give more details if you want. best part- cost less than 50$

    2.5g- ramshorn hatchery

    29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails

      You can use 2x4s for a bare frame stand and then skin it with some nice plywood. To get it to look like that stand all you have to do is stain it
