Well I ended up welding up the stand yesterday and will finish grinding down the welds and applying the first coat of the sprayon liner. I had a hell of a time flipping the stand around to do the welding, remember it is 4"X4"X1/4" square tubing. Once I welded the top structure I had to weld on the legs and turn it 180 degrees to stand it up. I have it worked out to be over 800#s so it wasn't an easy task. That is the reason for me welding it inside the room, not that I wanted to but I couldn't see any other way for one person to do it. And yes, my kids had on welding goggles, I just couldn't find any small enough for my fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't prove it with those pictures!

Brent, that stand is going to be a monster!



PS, didn't anyone teach you how to use a level? :lmao:

I would have liked to have all of the corners mitered as I usually do, but with it being made out of such large tubing my chopsaw just wasn't up to the task, believe me I tried. If you notice in the following pictures the whole stand will be supporting all of the weight. Most inwalls rest on the front pony wall. I actually have a 1/4" gap between the stand and the wall, hence the reason for such a beefed up stand.

Smart Arse, Look at the last pictures, I ended up using it the correct way earlier. I just was to tired to flip it over for you.

Brent,
Welcome to the metroplex. This surely is going to be an awesome build!

 

[Ixthys]

Where'd you get the spray-on liner? What's it called?

Could you take a pic of it?

Thanks!

:lmao: Right!

This is coming from someone that needs to color code his twins to tell them apart!

Brent, that stand is capable of holding up your entire house! Nice job. How's the sump and frag tank holding up? I lost a few more things before I could transfer all my stuff over. It's a good thing I didn't take any of your stuff before you left.

Ixthys, this is what Line-x truck bed liner looks like on a stand, but it has to be done in a shop with a special sprayer:

This is what I did with my tank 96x42x30T. A lot easier to keep it leveled. Looks good.

I really like your welding work. Also the tanks location. I really think this tank is going to look great as a part of your house!

What spray-on liner are you talking about?
thanks!

 

[Ixthys]

Konadog, that stand looks too good to put a tank on!

 

[Konadog]

Too Late!!!

This is when I filled it last week.



Brent, at the speed your working, how are you going to hold the water in place while you wait for your tank

 

[alien9168]

It really does look good.
At first...just because of the picture, I thought it was a dining room table...that piece of wood on the top makes it really look like a finished surface!

I cant wait to see the tank on it.

 

[melev]

Brent, this is awesome. And the sump is holding water!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!

 

[loserkidz]

Here is the product that I used, it is available at most auto parts stores. There a few manufactures to choose from. Granted it is not as thick as Linex, but for the price I used 3 cans and made three passes which is more than enough.

Marc,
Nice to hear from you, hopefully when this project if over I can make it to the DFWMAS meetings.

The next meeting is in Plano, Brent. Way over in your neck of the woods. Maybe you can show up briefly and introduce yourself to the members. Or drop in on the club's board a little more.

 

[loserkidz]

Marc,
I didn't want to intrude your guy's board too much since I haven't officially been able to join yet.

 

[melev]

Hmm. I need to check on something.
