Hey folks,
Was about to start building a stand, did a bit more reading here on it today. And I'm reconsidering my materials, I was going to build it with a 2x4 frame, reinforced with ply and some MDF to sheet it and make it nice looking.
But reading up, seems like many of you build solely out of MDF or plywood. Which could be of great benefit - as with my method I'm about 5" shy of fitting the sump/ equipment I'd like underneath...
Stand would be for a pair of demi-cubes, 24.5x24.5x16. 23" of space under would be ideal - would allow me hide the sump and the skimmer underneath.
Basic question becomes the design, It will be a corner unit - tanks stacked one above the other. I'd like to minimize the intrusion/bracing in one corner of the stand as much as possible (the corner's in the middle of the viewing area).
Anyone have ideas on how best to design/build this stand?
Thanks in advance,
Andy
