Stand, reinforcement,

[gryphon]

I love this app! People r great. Thanku.
So heres another question for u fish pro"s...
45.gall hex, with ur "wood/particle board " stand ....has anyone "reinforced " these stands, on the inside? Whether it be wood, or caulk all the.seams? Or both. (The stand, not the tank) it seems more "seasoned" owners build their own, which i may do in the future. Thanks

If this stand came with the tank no need to reinforce it.
You can caulk the inside corners of the stand as it will help you if have any leaks under the tank like your sump or so that it contains most of the water in your stand.
I made my own stand and it holds water 100% as I test it for 24 hours, total volume of my sump +25% extra.
yes I have water detecting sensors in my stand and around it hooked up to my APEX as it will alarm me when there is a leak.
