40G Stand with 2x4s Plans?

[Salt Addiction]

Was wondering if anyone had any plans for a 40g breeder using 2x4s? It doesn't have to be pretty as this is for a quarantine tank. I tend to over engineer these things to the point its cheaper just to buy a stand.

That’s pretty simple

yep. and the correct way to build one. I've seen a few where the builder put the weight on the screws instead of the pink vertical supports. bad idea.

had someone post up on a Face Book reef site I'm in, "see anything wrong with my stand?" I said yea, you have the screws in shear. his reply "no, I used wood screws."

The best way to build one. You can park your car on it
