Hi
Can someone(s) please point me in the right direction..

Im looking for a site/ help for building a stand.....

Im looking for stand plans that are for a cube style tank

thanks

Size? Sump? equipment?

Here is what you would need if you wanted to build something like this:


Material List:
2x4's
(4) 32.5"
(2) 14"
(6) 11"
(2) 8"
(2) 7"

3/4" Plywood
(1) 18"x17" The top

1/2" Plywood
(4) 14"x36" - you'll need the jigsaw to cut out the front for the door opening
(1) 14"x14" - you'll need the jigsaw to notch out for the legs
(1) 11"x29" - door

"L" corner trim
(4) 36" pieces

Hardware
(2) Cabinet hinges
(1) Cabinet Pull

Make sure you get cabinet grade plywood if you want to stain it. Hope this helps!

thanks for the info nanoyed....what size of tank does this stand fit??


BTW.. Im going to do a AIO

its pretty easy to figure out, just a quick study of the pic nanoyed posted will give the important info.
No need to overkill the design either. 1x4 instead of 2x4 will work perfect. Plywood only will work too but a special drill tool would be needed for assembly.

there is a start of MANY stands to get design ideas. Pay close attention to how the stand is framed.

most important part. Get plenty of paper and a ruler and sketch out your design to scale. This will also double as a materials list and construction diagram. I used AutoCAD, went thru 10 or so complete do-overs and took a few months before I was happy with a design that would work and fit my construction abilities.

When you get something put together post it and we can critique it. Take your time to do it right and you'll be appy with the end results.

it should fit a 14x14 cube

Do you have a rough estimate on what that lumber list costs at HD or Lowes?

Thanks!

2x4 is under $2ea
3/4x4x8 sht of ply starts @$20 and goes up for the nicer stuff. figure $35 for a sht of nice sanded ply
box screws $6
