People with large frag tanks!!!


I was wonering what people who have large (3' and 4') square frag tanks do for a stand? Do you build it inthe room or make it in sections?
I was stareing at my frag tank thinking "How could I get a tall stand through a oorway?" It would have to be super short to fit. So, it would like have to be short , in sections, or built in the room. All of which seem like a PImyA!

I only wish I had one, but I'd build the top and bottom frame in the shop and then just add the leg supports once it's in the room.

Thumbs up

If you don't care about looks stacking cement blocks and puting a 3/4 inch framed plywood topper is cheap, easy, and works.
