Hey guys,
I'm getting back into the hobby after a year off due to work commitments. I really missed it.
So, I've gone with the Aqua Nano 40 Cube (40x40cm) for my tank. I thought of buying the stand for it but realized that I could DIY one for a fraction of the price, so I've given myself this challenge.
I've seen a bunch of videos regarding DIY tank stands and I've been wondering what your thoughts are on using 2x3 (70x45mm) pine timber framing rather than 2x4 (90x45mm) for a tank this small?
Using 90x45mm framing makes it quite bulky and takes up quite a bit of room in the cabinet compared to the 70x45mm framing. I'd rather use the 70mm one if I can. Attached are some pictures of the design I'm thinking of.
Also, here is the timber and plywood I'm thinking of using:
Always open to suggestions.
