Hey there. New to this wonderful forum. I am building my first DIY aquarium stand and was planning to make rocketengineer's design or king of diy (youtuber) stand design.
My main question is how high can I make the stand.
My tank (have not bought it yet. Planning to buy it from https://www.junglepets.co.uk/72---6ft--1830mm--long-all-glass-aquariums-2242-p.asp )
72 x 15 x 12 inch wide
or
72 x 18 x 12 inch wide
Ideally I would like to view the tank while standing up and sitting down. For that for me 46inch high stand works as at that height I can just about see the tank while sitting down.
Is 46 inch too high? My number one concern is strength and would rather not come home to a broken stand and water everywhere.
2 more side questions
Do I need 4x6 in the rocketengineer stand design as my tank is long but skinny so does not hold alot of water
Which design is better? king of diy design or rokcetengineer's design.
Thank you all for your help.
