Frame for stacking brute cans

[chimbo84]

I have two 30gal brute cans for my mixing station and would like to stack them to save space but to also use gravity feed from the top RODI can into the bottom salt water can. This will achieve a simpler setup and restore my mixing pump back to backup return pump duty. All I will need is my trusty AC powerhead for stirring the saltwater.

I am worried about the weight though and could use some material and construction ideas for the best way to design this.

Thanks!

2x4s and 3/4" plywood is how I built my first one. Look up tanks stand builds and modify your sizing from there. I used the same type of build on my 175g water storage containers also. My new set up uses 3 55 brute cans one is on a 2x4/plywood stand to keep it above the other two for salt mixing. The salt mix is sitting on the 2" sheets of styrofoam insulation to keep them off the cold basement floor. Ceiling height isnt high enough to stack them at my new house.
