Stand for frag tank

Loki · Oct 9, 2012

I am having to take the sturdy well built stand for my small tank and put in my daughters room to replace her cheap stand from PETCO.

Here are the pics

I got to this point before I thought about pics.

It's for this tank. I am leak testing it now and will leave water in for a day or two just to make sure.

i would put one more cross brace across the middle to be safe and no sagging. You probably should have had a 2x4 top ting that sat on the legs directly so no screw where supporting the load. But for that size tank you should be fine.

oh and is that 1/2" or 3/4" plywood?

I think it looks good and sturdy!

Now that you mention it I wish I did put the 2x4 across the top.

I did add extra support for the top plywood to sit on. I didn't get a picture because it threatened to rain on me. So I drew in the braces
