Thanks for the DIY stand videos… I built two today based on this design. One for my 75 gallon and one for my new 125 gallon!

Hey thanks! It's a labor of love for sure.

I hope there’s a part 4 coming when you put the veneer on

There is! :) But I've also shown that step before on a different build, if you want to see it now. It's titled ''Make your DIY stands look amazing".

Wish you had videos like this for your tank builds. Your tanks look cleaner and better designed then most.

Thank you! One of these days I will. Just a matter of finding the time. :)

I'm getting a lot out or your videos so keep them in depth cause I'm visual person. I struggle flowing diagrams but when you walk thru with the pieces in place then I'm like now I get it. After watching this series I am building my next stand. Thank you

Thank YOU. I appreciate the supportive words.

Thanks for these stand build videos. I have realized that I am going to be forced to build my stand so your info has been greatly appreciated. Especially talking about the loads the legs can collectively support. I only have one question right now which is why you chose to orient the corner guide legs different than what you drew in Part 2 at the 23:30 mark? Looking forward to part 4!

Hey good catch! That's actually an inconsistency I didn't intend. Either orientation can work, with slightly different benefits. For this build though, I should've drawn in part 2 what I actually built in part 3.

Great informative video. 👍

Thank you Kaylee & Eddie!

J'adore ton travail, merci pour le partage. Feras tu une vidéo pour les portes et les encadrements en bois de l'aquarium ?

How do you level your aquarium stand?

did you put styrofoam under the tank if so what kind?

@Riffwaters

Yep. Any flat polystyrene will work, but I use home insulation boards from Menards because they're cheap.

Why did you choose to use particle board? I would think that is the lowest choice on my list so just curious?

@Riffwaters

Particle board is weak on sheer strength, but has good compressive strength. Since I'm only using it for the top, and it is well-supported underneath by cross-braces, it works quite well and saves money.

@@matthewnelson5699 I've never had an issue with that, so honestly don't build with it in mind. I run dehumidifiers in the room, and if the board ever gets wet it always dries out pretty well.
