steel stand

Asked this over in my build thread but I think I would get more help and traction on the DIY forum. I am conflicted on where I should place my ATO and refugium underneath my stand. For reference, the stand is 48x24” and 36” tall. I have an eShopps RS300, Reef Octopus 150SSS skimmer, and Klir-7...

Hey all!! I have been collecting the pieces and am getting ready to start my upgrade. I will be starting a build thread soon but I don’t want to start off the thread with a question. My new tank is 96”x 30”deep and 24” tall made from 1/2” acrylic. I frequently have to move (military) so...

We are in the planning stages of designing a steel frame for a SCA 150. The tank measures 60x24x24 and we are planning on making the stand 60x24x36 which will exclude a center brace in the front. We will also be adding CasterHQ leveling casters so we can drain the tank down some and move it if...

Hello R2R community! I've been in the saltwater aquarium hobby for about 10 years. I started with a 46 gallon bow front which I upgraded to my current 75 gallon about 5 years ago. Build thread here. It's been a great adventure with ups and downs. I got a steal of a deal on the 75. It's old...

Designing my next tank, and now considering what stand to get. I once had a 180cm x 60cmx 70cm tank that was on a plywood stand. The wood started swelling in a corner with a slow pipe leak. I sill shudder when I see commercials stands now, so want to build my own with a sturdy frame, clad in...

Hi guys, I have this steel stand that I want to wrap and I have no clue on how to go about it. Do you guys have any recommendations and maybe pics of what you have done?

Next week I will be getting together with my welder to design and plan my stand for my upcoming 120 build. I'd like some input from folks on what you like or dislike in a steel stand and if there is anything I need to take into consideration. I have a 60 cube with a sump now and my big gripe...

So today was a big day! My new Husband and I put down our deposit on a custom 243G Rimless Tank from Planet Aquariums. The Tank dimensions will be 72x30x24 and will be made out of 3/4" glass with 1" bottom 20" Tideline (ghost) overflow that will run a herbie style drain and 2X 3/4" returns. We...

I will be moving soon, so since I've got to take my tanks down for the move, I'd like to take this opportunity to move from wooden to steel stands for my two 120s. Is anyone here aware of any companies in North Carolina that can make two powder coated steel stands for me ???

I'm new to R2R - only been here for a few weeks and finally getting around to posting an intro thread. I have a 5+year old mixed reef that has been through all the stages our tanks go through from the, "New tank" stage, to the, "ugly algae tank" stage to the, "kills everything but the ugly...

So normally a stand is built to mirror the rim of the tank. I plan on upgrading later on and I know the size I want to upgrade to. Right now I am in the process of setting up a 40B (36X18) but my end goal will be a 80gal deep blue rimless (48X24). I am buying most of the equipment with the 80 in...
