A job is always done better when you take your time and do things the right way :) Well, this by far is not a perfect wood aquarium rack but I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. Follow me on Instagram @ryowatanabee for more updates

Greetings, my Name is Jackie and I'm from Malaysia...i love all of your video and information, this hobby is new for me and now currently i'm on my diy rack project, I'm so thankful for your design...i'm going to follow your design but different scale... thanks a lot for that, i'm always wonder who are you, a man? teenager? what do you do for life? because i love your adventure and passion for this aqua stuff...

That is a solid build. I like the finished color. Looking forward to whats next.

your local shop does a nice job of cutting and packing it for you! far out, my local does not have service like that!

also what i do when making stands like that is to use some wood glue where your screwing. just gives that extra hold.

The Asian version of king of DIY! Keep up the good work

I took a few years of a carpentry class a while back. I think it was a good idea screwing from the inside out. The screws above those being screwed in the opposite way will create a lock of sorts, and it will hold more weight. It is quite a bit more sturdy than if you screwed them all in the same direction. Great build btw, love the wood finish 👍

Hey Ryo! Very usefull information, many thanks for this! Keep your good work! Greatings from Portugal

Only in Japan can you have the guy in the store cut all that wood and have the thing fit together! Nice build, Cheers, Chris

hahahaha that was my first thought. my first time at home depot, i gave the guy measurements, and he was off anywhere from 2" to 8" on every piece. one piece, he was even off by an entire foot. I stopped getting my wood cut at home depot.

Really nice looking design and build! They cut the wood so nicely in Japan. They really DGAF at Home Depot here in the US.

The wood in your part of the world looks so much better than where I live. The lumber near me is all warped and full of knots. I can go through all the lumber that size at my local DIY store and maybe find 2 or 3 pieces as nice as any of those. Costs more here than it looks like it does there too!

Great work

Good job

your "Rack" is really the most finished I've seen. Good Job! And just to put it in a garage. I will learn from you, young man, and finish off the screws' heads by hiding them. Thanks.

Hi there Good job have good day and happy day See you next time.

Very nice job. I am ALMOST tempted to try it myself...?

Great job Ryo! It’s gonna be very rewarding setting up tanks on a stand you built with your hands!!

Wow nice

That's a clean build what's coming will be cool whatever you put there

For not using a square or a level you did fine building your first stand, plenty strong for the tanks you're planning on using. If you choose to build more in the future and want larger tanks try using 2x6 for your uprights, and notching the wood with a circular saw to fit the 2x4 horizontal pieces in the uprights. Cheaper solution for those wood plugs are dowels of the same diameter, glue in a lenght then cut it off flush with your finishing saw. Also keep those papers with your plans and other fish bits on them, get a folder or binder and label it aquarium- so if you ever want to reference plans later to duplicate what you have you can go right to the binder and find them. Trust me, after thirty years of stand, canopy, sump, lighting,etc. designs I have massed my own book of knowledge basically if you choose to go further in the hobby. Keep up the good work, see you in the next video!

nice dude! There is no wrong or right. It´s important that you like it.

Wow great work and thanks for the video. I actually just moved into a new home and was thinking of building a wooden rack for tanks, but the size of an entire wall. Keep up the great content!

Nice job! I agree on not using paint on it, I like to see the wood grain, and I usually like the darker browns of stain. Can't wait to see it when it's done. For a fitst time project you only had the one mistake...great job! 👍🍄😃

Great job on the build, for nano tanks the stand is over engineered, but I always like to build that way aswell. Like with many things investing in good tools will help make life easier and last for many years. Therefore on that note an orbital sander or a detail sander with various grit types would def help. Once you use one, you will never go back to doing it by hand.

Great job Ryo! Perfect just the way it is. Love the videos and the passion for the hobby. Keep up the great work!

Great job it looks amazing

To avoid that gap from happening, next time back your screws out a little and then re screw them in and it will bite down better and grab it in nice n tight. Great job tho buddy

nice work. It was probably much cheaper than the metal one as well. That leaves more money for fish and plants. Just remember, the floor may not be perfect either, so you may need to use those shims to eliminate wobble

Thanks. Not much skill needed to do this though 😅

Best strength is when you nail or screw from both sides. I dislike you capping over the screws as life changes and I have had to move my racks a few times. Yours is smaller that mine but so much easier to move when you can take it apart. Capping over the screws though makes it look better.

Well done for your fist attempt I think you made a really great job of it looking forward to seeing the tanks on it. By the way when are you setting up the large ADA tank up ?? 👍

Thank you 😊 I’ve already started my 120p and made a couple videos on it already. Just can’t release it yet because I want to enter the iaplc contest. I will release the videos after the awards ceremony. For best results, it’s best not to show your tank on social media. However, next year, I will not worry about the results and display my tanks as per usual on KZread. Hope you understand

Well done, but it needs support legs at the center also

Hi, so how much 2x4 for your built to prevent wastage? Thanks

Excellent job! How much did it cost to build it vs just buying the metal rack? I'm curious 🤔

Beautiful RACK! RUSSIAN LIKE 👍!

is that a pine wood?

Hey, how many meters of 2x4 so I can avoid wastage, thanks

It is better to do it higher from the ground at bottom. Now cleaning under rack for you became complicated.
