75 Gal stand!

Hey so just started building my stand last night. Here are the first pics of the frame. Going to do the top and side paneling tonight so will post more pics tomorrow.

Guy in the one pic is my gfs dad. He is helping me build it.

So basically I used 2x6 for the top frame and bottom sides. And used 2x4s for the legs. I used the 2x6 for the bottom side piece so that the 2x4s and the 2x6 would piece together like a puzzle almost and make it more sturdy.

Just wait and see what i have in store for the top! It is going to be so fancy!

More pics tomorrow!

Dimensions of frame are 48x18x32

 

Forgot to attach pics.

 

Got the paneling done. Hanging doors tonight and making top piece.

Also making corners where the front and side paneling meet.

 

Looks good

 

Thanks! Will upload more pics tonight with the doors and top on! Then all is left is paint!

 

She is done! Just needs paint, and door handles! The main frame is the size of the tank, the top is larger, i made it this way so when the back of the tank is flush with the back of the top there will be 2.5-3in of space left around the tank that i am going to put decorative stones in to give it a really unique custom look! Will put up pics of that when i get it set up!
