Ok guys/gals I am needing to build a stand that can hold a 100 gal on the bottom and a 55 on the top shelf. I have never built anything like this before and have no idea where to start. I need to make it out of wood, so pics, diagrams and anything else anybody can think of will be a great help. thanks:D

Gday

Why don't you go the the LFS and check out their stands and copy them?
The timber ones I mean..Just make sure you seal the wood so you don't get water rot in the timber. And, you probably know but I'll say it anyway, make sure it's LEVEL BEFORE you put a tank on it. Use a spirit level and jump up and down on it a few hundred times or test it's strength with something of a similar weight (like a small car:D)as the water filled tank/s will be....to be sure, to be sure......and test the level again when it's filled with water.

You can always enclose each end and add a few cupboard doors?

Good Luck
