I need help building a stand

[alexk3954]

I want to make a stand for my 55 gallon acrylic tank. Could anyone post instructions or a link?

Check out my monster 8ft stand. Principles are the exact same, dimensions are just slightly smaller

I used basic framing techniques to build a bullet proof stand.

thanks, that doesn't look too hard...

Is all of the frame 2x4's? What type of wood did you use for the front(the big skinny sheet)?

Its al l2X4 frame. The front is a piece of thin Luan, only $12.96 for an 8ftX4ft sheet.

This is a design that might work for you. I drew this one up for my 55 gallon but never made it.
