This is the same problem my friend @SueAbu has for her 500g she’s setting up

And I’m gonna share her pics…she got the tank off Craigslist and she sent me a photo of the stand

I think this is where I would break out the welder and make a metal stand.

I'll ask the boyfriend/plumber tonight and see if he thinks it's doable.
Boyfriend plumber he has that shower pan material on hand lol what are you asking is for. You have your main resource at home....unless he's just an apprentice! I was a journeyman for 7 years before I went to the medical field.

Jesus... I'm sure your skin though was in decent shape. I lose approx 5 gal on my 125 in a week, but my basement is so humid and wet to begin with.

I know my floors will support a 125, had a FW once before. If I go larger I would need to brace the joists. 200 would be my max and dream tank I think.
