Nice concept, although for 75g support should go all the wat to the floor from top down. 2x4s standing up would be alot stronger as well. I could sleep at night wondering if or when. 🤙🏿

Oh I love this! Thank you!

Perfect timing

A quick InterWeb search reveals that drywall screws are brittle and their shafts are thin because they are made to hold drywall to studs, and not made to fasten lumber together to be load bearing. I have snapped off the heads of drywall screws just using them to install drywall, so there’s that. Deck screws are designed to just hold deck boards down. My opinion is that construction wood screws would be a much better fastener choice for an aquarium stand, especially one that’s going to be filled with water, which would make it much much heavier than one used for reptiles.

Thank you! Fish room tours for us both soon 😁

Oooh. I think I'll make a scaled-down version of this for my 10 gal tank I just picked up at school for free since they were giving them away lol

How many 2x4s did you need to build this also how long are the 2x4s ? Great video came in clutch an will be doing this next weekend! Can’t bring myself to spend $350 for a stand

I just built this today thank you for your help

Thank you!

Could have included dimensions of every pieces

I am wondering if the middle needs another leg for support, with the 2x4s flat and not on their edges. How is the stand doing after one year?

@pittsburghpets3759 I "borrowed" your design and just built a 49L x 13W x 30H for my 55-gallon snake tank. It's not as good as yours, Its got some gaps, and it's a little wobbly, and had to be shimmed.
