Don't worry about level just make sure it's square by measuring from corner to opposite corner. Worry about level when it's in its final destination

What size tank did you have all that in before? They look like you've had them quite a while

Thanks so I have seen these builds were they build a shelf on the stand for maitenance etc. How safe are these i saw a build where a guy could stand on it for maitenance?

Check out Melev's reef and his stand. These are typically on wider tanks like 36" deep where center of gravity is far different than an 18". 400 gallons of water with a wide base, a man's 250lb body isn't going to tip that thing

My build I'm trying to have a slot on the backside of the stand from the side access to house a two step ladder. I'm always grabbing the one we have in the kitchen to get up inside mine.

Ya exactly and I know with a taller tank im going to need it. Also any ideas on the floor of the stand should I connect the frame with 2x4s and plywood the top or plywood the bottom of the stand?

Im a little concerned with these areas? I used 2xs to join the 2x6s thats one concern. My other concern is that bottom are I have the outside supporting 2x4s. I have the resting 2x4 on top of the 48" 2x4 and not on top of the joint where the 18" and 48" 2x4 meet? is this an issue I see all the other builds opposite? for example this pic

u mean alternating the seams? helps tie the structure together better and displacing weight more evenly. I dont think it will make a huge difference though. I coukd be wrong though.

If you used Elmer's wood glue you have nothing to worry about
