75 gallon stand build

And Finally...

The doors are hung!

The hinges had to be modded to fit correctly and they are white, so I might have to paint them black and then I will be done.
I'm not so much worried about the white hinges as I am worried about the exposed metal rusting quickly so I at least have to cover the metal with something.

wow...I truly admire people who can do this DIY...

Thanks, I would say it was easier than I expected,but I did have to borrow some tools from friends. It would have been really hard without the compound miter saw and router that I borrowed.

If I did it again I would stain and not paint, painting and sanding between coats takes a long time.

Tank setup thread coming soon...

Temporary location. It will take the place of the 45g eventually.
I really like the height on the 75g. I cant wait to get it wet.

This came out awesome! I'm about to build a stand for my 75 also.... I dont trust the one that came with it, and it doesn't have enough room for my sump

Can we see some more pics of the finished stand?

The stand does not need a center support beam vertically?

any update on your tank stand. im trying to make one for my 75g the stand its on now give me the creeps its an old system and i wanna make a stronger stand for it since i carelessly get it wet sometimes when i fill up my ato 5g jug. so i think its time for a new one. now the only problem is that my tank has a corner over flow and the bottom of the tank is drilled, im hoping i dont have trouble with the bulk head at the bottom getting in the way of the 2x4's
