Hi guys i just finished building this stand so i thought I'd take a photo and see what you think of it! also the overflow pipes i made are working great and my pump is handling the head height better than thought it would! I'm getting 2000 LPH easy.

lookin good, the top tank will be hard to clean tho wont it?

how big are those tank?

Scott H

a little yeah, but there is about a eighteen inch space between the top of the stand and the ceiling where i can get my arm into. And they are 55gal tanks.

namehater

sweet, were you scared when you filled the tanks for the first time?

ive been needing to get off my butt and build a stand for my 75g, i was thinking about making a double stand to hold my 75g and my 55g. even if i built it out of concrete, that first fill up would scare me to death!

are you done with the stand or do you plan on 'finishing' it with trim and whatnot?

Looks good to me!

Scott H

yeah man i was so scared i was running back and forth with my spirit level and set square every 30 seconds while the hose was filling it.
not sure about the trim, i was thinking i might put cabinet doors to hide the sump and other equipment but i duno.... i kinda like the look when its all open because people can see how it all works

Slug

I like that look too. Most of my stands are open like that. The bare bones structure always interests me.
