Basement braces

any one know the cheapest place for these? i will have 2, but i need 2 more to be on the safe side.

I couldn't find any that weren't outrageously expensive so I built some with a few dollars worth of 2x4's. I can send pics if you're interested in exploring that route.

as in wooden 4 x 4's, steel floor jacks or something else... ?

 

[Capt_Cully]

I got em at HD Brando. Like $30 or $40 a piece.

 

[JGarcia9102]

just pick up a steel monopost or go with 2x4s if you think the floor is level. it dosent get any cheaper....

[redrider911]

I think I have some steel posts in my garage I need to get rid of. IDK how tall they are. I won't be home till this evening, but Ill post up what I have any anyone can have them.

 

[oneradtek202]

no for a 100 gallon rimless, has to be perfectly level or else many issues lol

 

[aquadonkey]

lol - I just realized this rimless issue as well. Still working on the canopy for my new tank, but I filled it to start the cycle and it's So Obvious that it's not quite level!!

Getting a homemade stand level takes some carefully attention. In addition to side to side make sure to check for twist.

 

[jaybfresh]

You know, I remember you making fun of me for being overly anal about getting the rimless tank perfectly level over here

 

[oneradtek202]
