@Clayton and Pano

I’m not sure why you guys have not got a response yet but I called and spoke to framing tech using the phone number on the website. I’ll also ask Anthony to reach out to you guys.



In other news the tanks here lol delivery is scheduled for tomorrow.

Alright tanks gonna be here early tomorrow morning. Time to get this stand in the house. That was easy enough with a dolly and some engineering magic.

If I don’t like how that ceiling fan looks I’m going to replace it with a smaller one or maybe even a nice modern chandelier.

I’m still undecided if I will build a canopy for this tank but given the amount of lights I plan to use I think a canopy would look nicer and neater.

Well its here! The full video of the delivery and lift will be uploaded tonight and a link dropped here. I'm editing it now. Everything went well! My LFS Did an AMAZING job of getting the tank off the truck and into the house! Fantastic display of professionalism and skill from fellow hobbyists!

I see from your videos that you have a number of the FramingTech stands. I have a new 150 build under way and I'm thinking about using a FramingTech stand. I am wondering how well do the leveling feet work at spreading the load across the floor?

Honestly they work amazing. They are rated for 1000’s of lbs each and while I wouldn’t try to level the tank after filling it, while the tank is empty it was great.

Before I got my tank I leveled the stand in its final location. After adding the weight of the tank I thought I would have to re-level the tank and stand combo. To my delight the feet never lost their level setting and the tank remained perfectly level after jostling and moving it about.

Based off @Asonitez earlier messages, I reached out to Anthony @ FramingTech. I ordered my stand last week, great guys to work with. Highly recommended.

@Asonitez Do you plan on having your sump under your stand? How do you plan on enclosing it and building a floor for the sump? I really like these stands ever since seeing them on your channel, and your new one is a beast! Awesome build.
