Does this look like a good sturdy stand to make?

Post by hazima »

i was thinking about making a stand for my 29 gallon aquarium, and i found this article. I would probably put a flat peace of thick wood under the tank along with a piece of styrofoam, but i would use most everything else the same.

what do you guys think?

Looks like a great idea if you've got the tools and space to build it.

http://www.picresize.com/

i usually use that site when trying to resize pictures for upload. i save them to my computer after i get it to the right size and upload attachment in the reply. i also have photobucket which is free and its an image hoster. you can copy and paste embed links to make the pictures show in the thread instead of redirecting you away from here
