Stand looks good from what I can see but can't visually inspect the welds from these pics.

Well, you could always build it here, you know, kind of a "test" run for the new one. I know I'd have the room, cause I'm sure my wife would leave me.

oh Bob she'll love an z-shape tank that is 280 inches long and i would give you one hick of a deal to try it


Hey Grizz, i sure hope the stand holds, not looking forward to the first few days after it gets filled up

I have a better idea Dave, why don't you just build a tank 72"high, 280" long 36" wide, then fill up your basement. You know, kind of a reverse tank thing. I think this would be easier!

What I'm most excited to see is that step-down because it steps down on two sides. Never seen that. It would look amazing if you did a live rock bg attached to both sides and had the bg stick up a bit to form a lip to keep the sand upstairs.

Agreed. That's how I'm doing mine. A 4" lip to keep sand from blowing over the edge.

Everything else looks amazing.
