300 Gallon DIY Stand

[El Jefe9830]

Thought I would post some pics of my build of the stand for my 300 Gallon tank. I am starting on the hood now, and am should have my sumps completed and the piping all done by this weekend if things go as planned.

Keep in mind, I am not a wood worker, so don't expect anything too special, but it is very sturdy, and looks decent. Overall, I am pretty happy with the end result. Pictures below.

Thanks man. Took me some time to figure out how I wanted it all, and what materials to use, but only took about 2 days to build. Every panel opens as a door, so really gives you access to every part of the underneath of the stand.

not a woodworker ! could have fooled me !!!!

Thanks Everyone......Glad I can fool someone . It wasn't too bad really. I am glad I decided to build it myself. It is the DIY forum here on RC that I spent a couple of days going through when I was trying to decide to build it or have it made, and it convinced me to go ahead and try.

I will post up some more pics as more things are getting done. I hope to get my sumps done this week, I am using two 50 gal tanks, and putting in my own Baffles and such. We will see how that turns out.
