400 gallon in wall build

[don_chuwish]

Nice - the center brace removes any worry. I have sistered 2x6s on my short 48" span - construction adhesive and screws joining them. Definitely overkill but cheap insurance.

Yeh I hard a architect tell me what would hold the weight and I doubled or tripled it !!!!! I hope it holds ! That’s a lot of water !!!!!!

 

[Victoria M]

[Niterunner77]

Yeh the stand is doubled up 6X6s sitting on 6X6s !

You mean 2x6s?

 

[Steve1310]

Yeh that’s what I meant ! I’ve bought so many dif size and pieces of would for this build ! But yeh 2X6s ! I’ve got a good pic of the stand there and the only thing missing is a 2X4 that runs along the floor on the bottom where the stand is open right now and two doubled up 2X6s that sit on the 2X4 and go up to the stand directly underneath the 2X6s that go across

Haha ok, I was about to say, 6x6 is a big piece of wood, don't think you need to double up on those lol.

 

[Steve1310]

Yeh they say it can never be to much but that would probably be to much ! Haha

Well I’ve got about a 6inch or bigger purple tang and blonde naso I stuck in my 60 gallon frag tank while I moved ! I’ll put those in there for sure ! There dying to get out ! The tang police would kill me if they new I had them in there ! Haha I’ve also got some anthias and about 6 chromis in there I might start off with but I’ll def do a lot of tangs ! My old tank I had. 10inch Atlantic blue tang , about a 8inch blue hippo , my big purple tang my blonde naso , a powder blue and a yellow tang and they got along great so we will see ! I’m def getting a powder blue and a Achilles tang ! Prob gunna try a pair of blue throats also ! I had some in my 90 and loved them !
