Stand?

[Bigcapct]

I'm in need of a stand for a 26x26 frag tank ASAP. And I don't have time to build one

Anyone?

Check good will or united house wrecking for a cheap cabinet maybe? Been thinking about a frag tank m'self and will have to retrofit as well.

That's a good idea!!

I went, they had nothing but I'm gonna use a metal stand. It has wheels on the legs u think i should remove the wheels?

That all depends upon position and your preference. Will an inadvertent move upset the plumbing you set up? Do you see a need to have to move it in the future (knowing that the water will make it quite heavy/possibly immobile)? That said, I bought a large shelf unit from Costco for my quarantine tanks and I built it with the wheels.

Cool, that looks sturdy - although I wonder if you should be concerned about rust? You may want to look into spray coating it if you're going to use it long term.

I'd probably keep the casters but it doesn't look like they have locks on them. Perhaps throw a cinder block on either side to keep it from moving. If you have it against a wall/out of the way it's probably not a big issue though.

It won't rust. This thing has been outside for years lol. The wheels do have locks on em. It'll be in my basement anyway
