Building stands

[cincyreefer]

I am going to be building a new stand and canopy for a 120 gallon predrilled tank, and wanted to know how everyone built theirs. I would like to do something a little different than the typical stand that manufacturers make, but wasnt sure how everyone supported the two back corners well enough and still had room for the overflows. Thanks in advance.

i dont know how far the holes are from the corners but i thought that my stand idea might work.
there is a 4inch gap in between the 2x6's and the 4x4's are right at the corner. But if you move the tank so where the whole falls right in between the gap. that should work. i hope that is clear.

back view, i made my stand this way because i left open the idea of a predrilled tank.

I built mine with 6 4x4's for the corners and middle brace then running 2x4's as the frame. Then skin it with your fav. wood and add doos. was pretty easy.
