DIY 110 H Stand


This was my project for last year. I needed a new stand for my 110, but I wanted the tank to be high enough so that you don't need to bend over to look at. I think the stand is about 39" high compared to most comercial units that are only 28".

This first pic is the bare frame I built. If I were to do it all over again, I would have passed on the middle 4x4's since it makes very little room for a sump.

Welcome to TRT!

Looks good.

I too like my stands a bit taller.
