Hey all,
As I wait for my custom SCA I'm trying to get the ball rolling on the stand in the meantime. I've seen King of DIY and Rocket Engineer's dimensional lumber plans but I have seen numerous posts and comments regarding how they're way over built as far as strength and that a plywood build...
Hello,
I am looking into setting up a Waterbox AIO 50.3. The only spot it works in my house is in my home office which has a brand new low pile carpet. Of course I want to make sure this tank is stable. Any recommendations? I was thinking putting some plywood or foam between the stand and the...
I’m looking for advise on a stand for my 200 gallon (60 x 30) peninsula tank build. I’m looking for a decorative open stand. All plumbing, sump, reactors, etc will be located through the wall in the garage. Only the tank will sitting on the stand, nothing planned for underneath.
My wife...
Hello,
I am upgrading my tank in the next month and will have this set up available for sale. Only thing I am selling is the Tank
The stand and the sump. It’s about 15 months old and in excellent condition. My wife bought me a custom 225g so that’s the only reason why I’m selling this set up...
The front is where the cabinet door will be but it wouldn't offer any structural support. It's just the 3 panels that will be supporting it vertically, I fear it won't be sturdy enough to hold the 20 gallon tank and it has a slight wobble to it already. Maybe if I Wood glue the connection points...
My plan for the tank is to wrap the stand with some pine and cover up the powder coated stand it’s on. I was curious if I need to get treated wood, or will regular wood be suitable if I just applied some type of finish on it to help repel water? Any advice would be appreciated!
Going through my phones gallery, I noticed that I have built quite a few stands :D
Thought it would be nice to see what other people have been building lately for some future project inspiration! Here's a few I've completed (most of them for others)
Show us what you've built!

I have a 56 gallon tank that I was using as a quantine/emergency tank but it sprung a leak. The sealant could be replaced easily enough if someone has the time, I don’t. The stand has some swell spots, again they could be fixed easily enough if someone wanted to. I’m in the Utica-Rome area, I’d...

So the deal was with the wife, new condo, new tank. Seemed fair to me. After deliberating between a Red Sea and IM, we went with IM due to stand and availability. I currently have an Aqueon 75 gallon reef ready but the stand casing is falling apart, it is too big for the apartment and I want to...
Hey all! It's been a while since I've been on the forums, but I have moved homes this year and want to get all (at least the majority) of the tanks I've accumulated on as few racks as possible for now. There are a few that have individual stands (my 125, a 33, the 150 will get a new stand), but...
Recently moved and I have no good sturdy place to put my fluval evo 13.5g tank. I am looking for a cabinent stand in particular, but I was actually hoping to put a 10 gallon tank hidden inside of the cabinet (a sort of quarantine or rearing tank). I am currently not able to find anything that...

I recently broke down my 120 gallon reef tank that I had running for more than 10 years. Now that the livestock is gone and some of the equipment I am looking to sell the remaining dry goods below:

Thought this might be useful for those wanting to DIY an extruded aluminum stand. Stumbled upon it while looking for some components for my stand!

It even gives the option to select blind joints or bracket joints. Seems well rounded with...
I’m looking for some help in regards to my stand for my 150 tank (6x2x2)
So it’s a custom built stand and my issue is I wanted to place a 40 gal custom sump within. Since they over built the inside of the stand to be able to to place this sump underneath I would have to cut the back center...
Anyone in NJ/NY looking to upgrade to the JBJ 65g AIO aquarium/ in need of a tank stand?
I recently upgraded, but received a stand, which was damaged in shipping. I am getting a replacement, and now have this extra stand which has some cosmetic issues. There's a scratch on its door, a slightly...

Hi my names Nick and I'm really new to the reefing community. I'm looking for stickers to cover the many fridge I store my phytoplankton and frozen foods in and I think it would be cool to cover it in different stickers from different companies and different hobby related things. If you or...
So I picked up a Cad70 tank for a great deal, but the stand it came with doesn't seem solid compared to other stands I've had or built.
As a sanity check, since it's used, I retightened all the screws. It seemed to help make the stand more stable, but it still seems like there is a little bit...
