RM's Coral Farm (update 1/11..changin' gears)

Well that's a good problem to have!

 

Sounds great, can't wait, but sounds like we're going to have to.;D

 

How exciting! Another tank!

Congrats! Cant wait to watch this one come together.

 

Not just another tank, but 4 or 5 more.

 

following along on this one

 

In a twist of fate? or whatever you want to call it my wife got fed up with our basement and decided it would be best used for my farm. This increases the 130 square feet I had to use to right around 1100.
I've been busy with life but finally got around to building the stand for the first two 40's today. It measures 84" X 31" X 18.5".



Nothing fancy of course but will serve it's purpose.

 

More room to work with is always nice. Stand looks good. Serves the purpose, not too fancy.

 

I have some reservations about your stand, I would add 6 verticle 2x4 supports between the upper and lower 2x4's, otherwise your trusting the shear capacity of the 12 scews holding the upper rails in place.

 

Actually I'll run 6.5" bolts through the 2x4's and 4x4's and there will be other additions made that will help bear the weight of both tanks.

 

Looking good!! That's awesome how much more space you'll have.
