You've got to watch using treated lumber, when the copper based injections dry up the wood shrinks a good bit which could cause your stand to become unlevel
If the wood hasn't been dry for atleast a year I would think about redoing your stand.
I'll look for the thread were the tank cracked due to using treat lumber for ya.

Thank you we'll have to keep an eye on the wood... didn't know that could happen. Thanks for the heads up

no problem, It happens alot in decks, those spaces between boards seem to grow over time.

Heyy...that 125 looks familiar. You guys are doing better than me. I still havn't set up that vivarium with the stuff from you yet...
LMK when its up and running or you need help, I will swing by. Bye the way, what do you plan to put in that thing? And what type of lighting are you gonna use. I just got into T-5's. Later,

Thanks again Brad for the trade We're super excited to have a new project to work on!!!! We're thinking of do MH lighting on the 125 and changing the 72 bow front to the low light or t-5 setup.... We will definitely let know if we could use a hand

Thanks again,
John & Kristi
