Here's my 19$ cinder block stand for a 125gal 6' tank, 1 year and still going strong!
3 blocks high by 3 rows
2x2's for tank to sit on
2x2's ran length wise for support
Make sure ANY DIY stand is level! This can be disastrous if not leveled properly
Center tank and double check level before filling
Fill slowly check rigidity and level every now and then
And admire your handy work!
Note: for smaller tanks 2 columns can potentially work but 2x2 or 2x4 support is a must.
Building your own stand can save you $$ you can invest into better filtration, fish, tanks, etc or just save! Cheers :beer:
