What stand dimensions or design for this tank would oyu do?

Bakedpwn · Dec 10, 2023

So i order one of these big boys and im super excited to have a cool cube shaped tank.
The overflow holes appear to be in the bottom which i have never worked with, im used to the holes in the back top of the tank bean style.
So i was going to make the stand out of 2x4s but now im not sure if the stand made at 36x36 would interfere with the overflow holes/pipes.
I could ask a friend about welding a metal frame but im not sure about a topper for metal stand.

any ideas for a stand or design?

You just have to have a cut out on the top of the stand so the pipes can run through to the sump... As long as you use 2x4's vertically for the frame, there will be plenty of room. The glass is over 1/2 an inch thick and the distance from the inside glass to the pipes is clearly over an inch according to the schematic, so you should have no problem with the main stand structure interfering with the pipes.

Looks like one heck of a deal right now!
