Multi Tank Stand

[richchappy]

Has anyone got any ideas or plans that could help i want to make a stand for 2 tanks a 30l that is 18 inches long on the bottom and a tank about 60 l ontop that is not yet been purchased, i wondered what kind of wood would be best and what supports etc it needed

Thanks

Rich

I've got a room full of home made doubles & a triple. Look into deck construction, this will give you ideas on how to build it. To make up any sort of measured plans you would have to post the exact tank measurements, how much room you need between the tanks to work on the lower tank, how far off the floor you want the lower tank, and how close to the ceiling you want the upper tank.

Bottom tanks that are too low are tough to get a good syphon going for maintenance, upper tanks that are too high require a stepstool to maintain. Too little space between tanks makes maintenance tough. The trick is finding a happy medium.
