Should I build my own Stand.

[johnb0184]

I just bought a all glass 120 gallon tank with dual overflows. I was wondering if i should build my own stand or just buy theirs. I want to build my own but am not all that great at carpentry work. What I really want to know is does anyone have any good plans for building a 120 stand? Also any tips from those that have built their own would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

John

Yeah Its cheaper and better looking than a standard stand.

This is for a 125 but the concept is the same http://defcon200.bizland.com/aquariust/id2.html

Being disable i can't, BUT, if i could i would, i guess its knowing were to put the support under the stand.

Build it out of plywood.Plywood is stronger than 2x4's.
