Stand construction question

[gregzz4]

6 inches inboard is a lot for wood
Consider using box tubing for the top
You can drill and screw through it into your vertical wood

Is your plumbing going to be on an external overflow? If so just the build the stand to fit the tanks and have the stand covering extend past the frame to hide the plumbing. I don't if it works in your situation but there's a YouTube video from an aquatics website that shows a 6' metal shelf unit from Lowe's that fits 40g breeder tanks one above the other just perfectly. The shelf comes in two halves so enough to make 2 stands that are 3' high.

I should clarify this
It depends on how your tank is built and how it's meant to sit on a stand
If the bottom floats like tanks with plastic trim do, then you'll need to support it right to the edge
If not, then maybe the guys @ Concept can steer you in the right direction

And this is the kind of tubing I mentioned. Comes in a variety of sizes beyond what's listed on their site
