Plans for a stand

[untilitsleeps]

Anyone have any good plans for a nice looking stand which will be big and strong enough, to hold a 6x2x2foot marine auqaria, i would imagine 130 gallons of water and live rock is going to weigh around a metric tonne. so is 4"x2" timber going to be sturdy enough?

you only need 2x2 timber which has a compression rate of around 6 tonnes. your tank will only weigh about half a tonne. I would go for 6 legs and simply make two rectangles out of 2x2 the sive of the base of the tank. then screw the 6 legs between them. you can then put doors etc on the front in what ever matirials you like.
