The 60gal Cube

It's official it now a 60gal cube build and not another 40 breeder. Dance

 

[jose7878]

Well started skinning the stand and I also built the front doors.
As I'm looking at the stand I think I'm gonna add doors on the side to get access from the sides and not just the front.
I guess another HD trip tomorrow for more wood.

you sure that stand will hold the weight of the tank? the weight of that tank is distributed to the corners of the tank. you don't have any support beams upright, under those corners..

Yeah. It has two 2x4 side by side and it right under the corner of we're the tank will sit.

Thanks for catching that. It was a last min catch for myself too.

The last thing you need is that stand collapsing!

I just ran a new 20amp breaker for the tank now doing the outlets under the stand.

Tank leveled and set in place. Light temporary resting on the tank until my hanging system comes in from Aquacave.

That's a wonderful stand. Like the perimeter around the tank, good for a coffe mug or something.
