Just constructed a 3 tier stand that holdsx2 10 gallons per tier. Used King of DIY video for the reference. What do you think?

Looks pretty good, but on tiers 2 and 3 you’re relying on screws the support the full vertical weight of the tanks on each level. Shouldn’t be a problem with tanks that size, but just an observation.

I thought the same thing when I found the build I wanted to copy. There are x20 deck screws holding each tier, and the guy in the vid said not to exceed 30 gallons per tank. I still went smaller with the 20 gallons lol.
