My 230G is slowly starting up

nice start
, i don't want to freak you out, and it may have been a flook to start with but i had a buddy with the same style stand which collapsed sideways after some accidental persuation (of course). you may want to put some cross or diagonal brasing in even wedges in the corners of the brase uprights before you fill it after all better safe than sorry and you will have over 2300lbs on that thing. if marrfy see's it, you know it will undoubtadly come down right after the system is perfectly completeed. please don't hate me, i just love the fish's.

Trust me, I'm not freaked out lol. I had it professionally made and I've looked over the welds myself. The tank is now filled will Ro/Di (finished last night) and everything looks stable. Thanks for the warning though. I'll keep an eye out for corrosion over time.

good to hear. i forgot to mention the crash occured when the tank was pushed from the side, yeap he was a big ummm drunk guy, well maybe more drunk than big. i guess he couldn't figure out why that wall he was leaning on had fish in it.

When I had my 150gallon, I put a board below the stand and above the stand, and then used 3/4" plywood on each side, and screwed it into the board above and below. My stand wobbled a bit before this, and then after it didn't move at all. You may want to try this, as Im glad I did it

(Then you can place styrofoam ontop of the top board)

for sure. if i can figure out how to post picture and i have time i'll show pic's of my system and stand. the crash i was talking about happened to a buddy of mine a few years ago i've had lots of experience since then. keep updateing us on the system looks really cool so far. Good luck

Looks good, almost the exact same size of tank as I have, exept i have 1/2" glass instead. where did you get it made?
