I just purchased a Zoomed low boy frag tank (48" x 24" x 10") and am planning on building the stand.

I can't decide on building the stand out of wood or doing a cinder block stand. I would prefer to keep costs to a minimum but obviously still want something that is reliable.

My biggest concern with building the stand out of wood is getting it level. I am not the best at woodworking and I don't have many woodworking tools but I could borrow some if necessary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
It will be alright use a miter saw with a fence to make sure all cuts are same exact length. Then when you put it together use clamps to hold things together and pre drill your holes. Then it will be square.
