Show me your cool tank stand!

[eschulist]

Awesome stands guys. Lots of great ideas that I want to implement into a new stand for myself

I'm going to be doing something similar with a hood attached to the wall. Did you brace the corners or just glue and screw?

Every thing is bolted to the wall. We originally mount the cabinet using tv wall brackets but there was to much sag. Thats when I decided to use the brackets.

Here is one I'm pretty proud of! The corners are made of 4×4 posts I cut down on a bandsaw. Tank is a 45 cube center overflow.

A lot of nice cabinets on here, but this is creative cool right here!
I'm a carpenter myself and really like seeing things that are different, unique.

Very sorry to hear about the plumbing!

The corners are glue and screw. The front of the hood opens so I can service the tank.
Original plan was to use a tv bracket. It wasn't able to with stand the front weight so I then purchased brackets and wire. I asked the wife if she would rather see the brackets or the wire hanging from the ceiling. She choose the brackets.

Not sure about cool but it's solid, can support a big truck

Here is mine so far. It is holding a 60" 120 and 40b sump. Upper frame is C4x5.4 channel and everything else is 2" .120 wall square tubing.

I am now working on the canopy and cabinet faces to skin it. Got all of the frames done and did all of the router work on the 6 cabinet doors yesterday.

 

[JimSWreef]

Heres mine. Just finished it.

 

[Gravityreefing]
