[todrick]

My tank is just a 120 but you could use the same concept. Just make your stand longer to fit your tank.

Here is a thread documenting (with lots of pictures) the entire build process.

Thanks. I used a lot of ideas from someone else's thread when I built my stand. That's why I documented the process. So others could use the information if they wanted.

I built a steel tank stand for mine, but was wondering if aircraft grade aluminum would be strong enough to hold up that weight.
