Hello.
I have built 60” x 24” stand for a new 150gl SC tank. I used Rocket Engineers plans for the design which consists of 2x4” construction throughout with the exception of the top bracing which is 2x6 construction including 3 center braces. Currently I have no back or front vertical braces which is why I used 2x6” on the top framing. According to the plans, this is adequate meaning I need to vertical supports in the back or front.
I thought I would seek advice one more time before I wrap this up, if I should or need to add the back brace. The stand is built like a tank with the 2x4 and 2x6 construction, but thought I would ask you folks.
any experience or recommendations would be appreciated
Thanks
