Thanks guys! Ordered my central air from Jehmco yesterday. Went with one of their 8-15 line diaphragm pumps with four hydro sponge filters, an 8 line manifold, 40' of tubing and some other misc pieces. I'll be putting together a video of the unboxing as well as it fully setup and the pump itself. Still need to figure out the grow-out and purchase the tumblers/breeder boxes. I will probably end of building a rack to the left with a 55g and some smaller tanks under it.
The easiest way I have found to build these is to start with each shelf. So build two identical shelves. Next, prop up what would be the bottom shelf up with the two 2x4's. This will give you a temporary lift to screw in the outer vertical supports. Following this, you can screw the two 2x4's you propped up the bottom shelf with and screw them into the vertical supports. At this point you should have the bottom shelf, the two 2x4's under it and the four outer supports. Next you can grab the inner vertical supports and screw them to the outer vertical supports. This leaves a perfect place to drop in the top shelf. Screw it in and you're good to go. Each individual shelf has two outer beams which are side by side and two inner that are spaced out. Sorry I don't have an actual video on building it. Hope this helps a little.

Just finished my build, thanks for the dimensions!
Just got done building mine thanks for the measurements
Thank you for the measurements!
good video, now one with them up and running :D
Looks good GP! I got my central air system in Amazon.
well done, looking forward 2 seeing the fish👍👍👍
Building this tomorrow. Thank you
Well built stand there.
Thank you! Came out better than I thought it would.

Hey man, thank you so much for posting dimensions and how to build! I am actually building this exact setup tomorrow.

+SebsExotics You are very welcome! Glad you found this video useful! Let me know how it turns out!
thats very nice. want to build one but i want the lower tank about 2 feet off of the floor.
👍 👍 👍 I've subbed you
How's the top clearance for the bottom tank? Do you wish you had gone a lil taller or maintenance is fine?
2 years later I can’t find anything on how to build one!

Long shot but would you happen to still have the measurements? Looking to build something like this thanks
