I just realized I put my thread in the wrong area. I had a question as to whether or not our tank stand looks strong enough, or if there is anything we should change about it https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/389291/new-salt-water-tank-owners-need-opinion-on-our-tank-stand
Mods, feel free to move or merge the thread!
A little intro, I kept a fresh water tank for 10 years and just got tired of the tank. I had a lot of different fresh water fish, including Oscars for the last several year. My fiance has always wanted a salt water tank and I told him the only way I would ever get a tank again is if it was a salt water tank. Well...needless to say, I'm pretty excited to see a tank sitting in the living room right now! I can't wait to start filling it up. We don't even have water in it yet!
I've read through the 101 tips, that is a great write up! We also have the book " The Marine Reef Aquarium" that we have been learning a lot from as well. Any tips or advice that you wish to give would be more than welcome.

looks fine to me. my friend made my stand for my 250 gallon.it only has one support in the middle.not much more to it than yours.
you do plan on wrapping it with plywood though right? if not i would go get metal corner braces so it dont sway.

Great thanks. We are planning in covering it with plywood and putting in some doors.
