Stand for 29gal

[mightytexn]

The metal stand holding my 29 gal tank is starting to show some signs of corrosion. I have a bunch of 2x3's that I ripped out of my basement when I was reframing the walls to finish it. I should be able to use them to build a stand instead of 2x4s since it's only a 29 gal tank right?

Should be fine, just make sure the ones you use are still structurally sound. My 65gal is sitting on nothing but 3/4" plywood.

OK thanks... I probably have 50-60 2x3's left over that I didn't need to re-use anywhere in the basement, so I should be able to find enough solid pieces of wood there.
