Default The Stand

The Stand
One weekend prior to the tank coming, we had planned to put the tank on our large kitchen island. That's until we realized it was hollow inside. With the idea of reinforcing the counter top, I came home from work hours later to find a stand built! WOW WEE! I have the most amazing guy ever! He looked up stand ideas on the web & just build it in a couple of hours! I knew he was an electrician but not a carpenter too! Amazing!!

The stand with all the wood and screws, approx $300.00 to build.


cutting wood


stand frame with the Bulldog guarding it.


Later the sides & the top wood were added.



The bottom of the stand, as its being sanded & insulation was added underneath too.


After we got the tank in the house, the tank on its new stand


Here is another shot of the tank from the kitchen side. Celebrating with a few frosty beers.


Me (Lee - a.k.a Bulletsworld) Yes, Lee is a girl not a guy, SURPRISE!) standing at my new tank.
I then realized its taller than me! I'm going to have to dive in to clean this!
