Todd's ~ 320 Gallon System- A New Biginning?

Thanks, I do plan on at least a 2x4 center brace front and back, that'll make it easier to put the front doors on, etc.

 

then you will have zero issues for sure. I like the braceless look but for a 180-220 i would use 2x10s just to be safe.

 

Yes, and that look will be covered anyways, so you won't see the center brace, or not.

I looked at Oak plywood today, this is probably what I'll use.

Still deciding on the door verses removeable panel, etc.

 

ive always been a fan of removable panels

 

It's because they don't properly understand the concept. You have to fight the urge to put in additional "supportive" pieces of wood not in the original plan, as it could shift the whole weight distribution factor that makes it "work".

I have a 210g sitting on my Reef Central obtained plans. I did not put the center brace in.

 

That is a sexy looking stand, Todd. Nice design!

 

Thanks, I think it could disrupt the whole space-time continuum! ;-)

Thanks Marty

 

The skeleton.




The skin.



The end.

 

I didn't use a center brace either. No need when you use a 4x6 beam sitting on notched 6x6's. By the way, Renee, your penninsula looks amazing.

 

Hey Todd I don't mean to chime in late here but I was wondering have you ever thought of bi-folding doors?
