How to Build an Aquarium Stand

Simple aquarium design that anyone can do! Save a ton of money and do it yourself! Also much sturdier than what you can buy off the shelf.

Nice basic stand. Would look better for a clutter free look if doors were added to the front tho. Can you do a video on that?

[@LivingwitCarte]

great work & great video!!

Make the center supports so there removable, use craig tool to counter sink the screws . Makes it alot easier to access the sump or other equipment when troubleshooting.

How tall did you make stand? I have a 180. Would like the top the tank come up to 6 foot.

Question! Which stain/poly did u use?

[@Saltyrootsjax]

I used Minwax stain + poly in one. Oil based. Honey pine first coat but was a little too yellow so went over it again with Minwax natural. I personally like either a satin or semi gloss at the most finish for a more natural look and less shiny

[@alyssarodriguez5393]

Thank uu! Im going to try the natural one!
