Waterchange station build question

[snulma1]

Hey folks!
finally making myself a water change station
I currently have a 77 gallon drum which will be my RODI holding tank and a 30 gallon mixing drum for salt water (I know the rule is to have equal sizes but these were what I had on hand).

I'm hoping to place this in a corner and build vertically (77 gallon on top and 30 underneath)
Just wondering if my plans will hold?

I plan on building a 28x28 frame with 2x4's to hold the 77 gallon drum
Then using 2x4's as leg's on the inside of the frame (so they bear the weight) and then building another frame lower down to hold the 30 gallon salt water drum.

Hope this makes sense

Almost exactly what I have, my lower drum (30) sits on the floor inside the stand for the upper vat (55). Both hold RODI water, the lower for top off. I have another 30 gallon I keep in the garage & bring in to do water changes using water from the top tank & top off the lower tank. This generally has me running the RO for 25-30 gallons @ a time.

Do you have a picture of your tower?

Yes, if you send an email address. Pics here are a PITA.
