Great set up. I’ll be doing the same with my 30 gallon and 55 gallon. I’ve been watching other DIY stands using CBS blocks. You are the only I’ve seen using 2x8…all others use three rows of 2x4. I agree with you and prefer to have the added tank bottom support, not the gaps that result in 2x4’s. One question for you, are you cramped for accessing your 40 due to the three stack CBS? Obviously 4 cbs stacked would provide greater access to the lower tank but then you would have the upper tank 8 inches higher. Your thoughts? Thanks again your set up looks great!!
Looks beautiful.
Looking at cinder block stands and this is the best ive seen yet!
Thank you
Thanks

I'm doing this with two 120s and a 100...they'll have boicka midway under the span
Looks great 👍🏽
doing this setup tomorrow for my 75
Can I pull this off with a 75 G on the top and 55 G on the Botton? What size wood do It need?
55 would be too large for the bottom.
For 130 gallon is possible?
using the bottom for storage
Did you paint the blocks
Yes. Left the natural wood just sealed it.
