My new custom stand

[PerezAF01]

Hey All!
Just recently I decided to upgrade to a 75gal tank even without starting my 55 gal. :rollface::rollface: I didnt like the original 55 gallon stand because it looked so weak that I was afraid to even set the empty tank on it. I didnt want to spend 200+ dollars for a similar stand either so I decided to build one myself. Its my first stand so dont beat me up too bad.
Here are the pics! I will add new pictures once I start setting everything up. :dance:

I certainly wouldn't worry about it falling apart :fun2:

I might as well go for a 90gal...

I know!! Hahaha
Well if I am going to invest all this time and effort, I might as well get something I am going to be happy with. I figure the more water I have in there, the more stable it will be. I think I will be happy with a 90 gal so hopefully TFP will have some special going on the day of the swap.

Looks nice. The side access is a good idea too. And with the size of the beams you used for vertical support you now have a place to jack up your car if you ever need too.

The only thing I'll recommend is that if you're going to do your own wiring like you did you may want to consider adding some switches. I don't know what kind of space you'll have in there when it's done (sump/etc) but switches are nice for pumps or anything else you'll want to turn off once in a while without have to yank the plug.

Good Idea! I will look into that along with the wiring required. Thanks
