75 GALLON STAND BUILD PART 1

Part 1 building the stand.

[@kevinrspBelieves]

12:37 What I did with my stand top because I wasn't willing to get into all the sanding is I flooded the entire thing with 1/4" of tabletop epoxy which is perfectly self leveling. Zero pressure points!

You are eyeballing son of a gun. no squares, minimal use of a rule or tape measure. I'm probably just jealous.

[@JNC1973]

This was the first time I ever started to bang my head while watching an aquarium stand build so there's that. 🤟🥳🤘

2 seconds in thumbs up this dude is just cool!!!!

[@brianp6180]

Interesting. I think I would have built the frame 1st then skinned it with the plywood. End results are what matter!

[@rebecca1207]

Congratulations on achieving 10 Thousand!! I'm dying over the price of the 2x4 that's nuts...

[@jamesmason4382]

congrats on the 10k love the hat btw lol

[@jdofishtank6018]

Thanks

Just a thought, a glass tank should never have plywood or any solid surface under the tank. The bottom is not design to withstand that kind of pressure. The tank could fail in time.

[@onenikkione]

Why did you return the Petsmart tank and where did you get your Aquarium Masters tank from?

[@averystorey6486]

Ik I'm kinda late to watching this vidio. I'm going to do something very similar. I'm getting a 75 gal aquarium, with a 40 gal breeder as a sump with a submersible pump and an hanging over flow running at about 550 gph. I realy like your set up i just wanted to realy go all out and have great filtration

[@richardcain3983]

That's how I'm about to do mine

[@realhusky]

I’ve got 2 neon tetras and 2 neo shrimp in my 75. Can I add more fish?

[@KingKYhKingGHIGSh]

Would love to know what the weight is of the stand.

[@ghostlincon]

Just sucribed got help out fellow fish keepers

[@dthor6922]

How much weight can one of these diy hold?

[@realhusky]

Way more than it needs to

[@t.lledsmar6052]

Buddy wasted a lot of wood 🤣

[@1234NYmets]

Looks awesome... Once it's painted... Those screws won't be as noticeable.. What I've done to ensure the tanks are as level as possible is put peice foam that the demention of the tank under the tank... So if the wood base has an imperfections of some sore its taken by the foam and not the tank.. Which might cause problems later on..and congrats on the 10K subs... 👍🏼🍻🍻👏🏼👏🏼

[@jdofishtank6018]

Thanks, I’m using a yoga Matt under the tank.

[@jessecrump1424]

3:19 Okay I gotta ask, where in the hell did you find the chrome plated seahorse door handles? I like them a lot.

[@jdofishtank6018]

Amazon

[@jessecrump1424]

@@jdofishtank6018 Personally, I would have put them in with the sea horses facing each other as if they were sizing each other up or getting ready to mate. Lol.

[@brianbrown2207]

no cross braces on the end posts? go the the extra mile and fill and sand holes it will look so great or even replace them with exposed bolts for that industrial look

[@t.lledsmar6052]

The plywood is brace enough eh

[@jeremy87turbo87]

You should have just inset the bottom plywood panel instead of putting it on the outside.
