Cuz's 605g system

Beautiful looking tank.

I would recommend some support down the center of the stand to support the tank. Last thing you want is the bottom of the tank bowing and then cracking. Perhaps some 8' 2x6 going left to right, one at 10", 20" and 30" from front pane. Then under those you would have 2 x 6 running from front to back where you have the existing legs. That is how I built my stands and they are going strong after 8 years. Albeit the tanks they support only have 15" of water depth and they are 4' x 8'.

Cheers,
Tim

If I understand correctly, without re-reading, I do believe the Grizz built the stand for this tank, so it should be good to go. After all, he is a working welder and has built many aquarium stands.
But you didn't know that, did you Tim
( just say you didn't know that )

Oops, wrong build
There are 2 new big builds happening right now
My foul

With that said, maybe Grizz or sphelps will chime in as this IS a pretty heavy tank.
I like the idea of the doubled 2xs for legs, but as for the rest of your stand, I'm staying out of this one.

There are way more pieces to this stand than pictured!! I had already started taking it apart when I thought to grab a pic.

in the trailer, after we placed it on my mis-measured canoe face down on the starphire!!!

through the door way off the trailer with a couple of rollers and a pile of pushers!!

wow, that looks like it was quite the undertaking.....10 guys for 470g....if I follow that formula I should need 5 or 6 guys for my tank.....that thing is a beast dude...
