The second stand is completed based on his blueprints, one is larger than the other with his advised boards to lengthen. Works flawless. Thank you for the SHORT tutorial! He may have said this in his video i just can't recall right now but a helpful tip would be to predrill your holes in the first 2x4 prior to running the screw in. Makes it easier to run in but most importantly prevents the wood from splitting. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for a helpful start. I'm getting a 5x2x2 150. It has a center overflow through the bottom so ill have to get a little creative with the load bracing in the back.
You’re very welcome. Simply change the 72” measurement to 48” and your all set. And also follow the directions to get your height. Happy help more if you need any pointers.
Hey just curious, was the 16.5 width the total width or just the inside boards? Is it actually 19.5 total with the extra 1.5” on both sides? My 150 gallon tank is 18.5 wide.
Hi my name is Joseph im looking all over for how much wood do I need in total im going to get 2x6 I know it’s over kill but im not a wood worker and worried that it will not hold the week by two by 4s im going to Home Depot yo by the wood today or tomorrow can you please tell me how many 2x6s I need I will be cutting at home
I’ve seen this style build hold two tanks. But I think the 2x6 could be cool also. Id have to go back in the video to give you a count. I think it was 9 boards.

You can easily move your center brace or spread two.

Quick question, how thick was the plywood you used?
Just learned how to reply to comments I didn’t know were turned on. 1/4 birch plywood.
How many 2x4 did you use .?
11 boards. Also see description under the video. Hope this helps. Congrats on the new tank.
