I just cut the pieces for most of the stand.

Gotta pick up some more 3/4 cabinet grade from the big shop to cut legs.

Then it's about a thousand pocket holes and some glue.

Having good tools makes all the difference.
 
I run a vertical stack for my water station.

Nice!

Thanks @JimFuller ! I was just trying to figure out how to run the pump.

Bottom is the saltwater, correct?

Yep. RODI on top. Saltwater on bottom. These are both 75 Gallon tanks, but I gave seen them as small as 15 Gallon.

You can do something similar with aquariums.

That's the plan. Just a lot cheaper! ;)
 
I'm working on a mixing station for my 40g breeder build. Going to use a couple 20H tanks and stack them vertically. Bulkheads and PVC is cheap and in have the hole saws already. I figured I might as well plumb the system with 3/4" bulkheads, lines and valves, since that's the size I'm plumbing the return on the 40g. Can't be more than $35--$50 worth of plumbing parts.
