Got plans?

I bought a 30" rimless cube yesterday, not I need to find some plans to build a stand. It's drilled with external plumping in the back. Anyone have some plans?

 

I do!!!!

 

;D care to share?

 

This was my original design, there is no "load bearing" screws or anything, all the weight is on the boards, and this stand is a tank (the army kind not the fish kind)

all the horizonal pieces are 2x6
vertical pieces are 2x4


but i ended up putting 2 braces in the center on the top and bottom.


you'll have to build the top, then the bottom, then the four legs, bring them into the house and put it together.

 

C'mon Buddy......You know the routine....;D

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

It's being drilled now, I pick it up at the end of the week. Then I'll post pics. ;D

 

I did take this one of the stores setup .

 

if you skin that stand with 3/4" wood, youll be exactly 32.5"x32.5"x37"

since your tank is 30" tall, your overall height will be 5'7", i really wouldnt do anything shorter than that. having a cube tank really compresses your sump area and what not, you wont be able to keep anything higher than 25" inside the sump, so keep that in mind when choosing a Skimmer. im sure you could squeeze an extra 4" out of your cabinet space if you used nothing but 2x4s, but i dont recommend it. ive seen it done, but i wouldn't do it.

 

I already have my euro reef and I'm prolly going to build the stand a bit taller, like in the picture above. I want o look into it while standing. I'll just adjust plans accordingly.
