And had these welded for triple 75g tanks.

Really nice Tara. You don't have the plans or step by step photos for us males with two left thumbs do you? Probably have to get my daughter to help me anyway.

I know the picture isnt the clearest but here is the frame for the stand and I didnt use plans I just built it. I did use metal brackets to steady up the frame probably overkill but made me feel better.

Thanks Tara. If you make another one please take pics.

i like the welded ones...very expensive?
on the wooden ones-u think made out of 2x6's frames would hold a 75g on top? perhaps 2-3 frame supports in the back and 2 at the sides? should i use just 3/4 in plywood-or could i get by with 3/8 or 1/2 inch for the bottoms?
