Best Way To Build A Stand?

[Weimster]

I have a 4x2x2 tank which I'm putting in my garage to grow some young fish on. I plan to use a simple design but I'm not sure if 4x2" wood will be ok? How many supports should I go for and what is the best wood to actually rest the tank on please?

Thanks

I'm building a stand as well I've asked ?'s already. 2 X 4 is good and you'll want at least 6 supports. I've read of alot of people using mdf as the wood to rest the tank on. I think this is a pretty good guide We're only doing 6 supports and not 12, but my tank is only 5 feet by 18 inches wide. Hope this gives you and idea.

Here's my ?'s I asked. Go down a little a farther. The beginning talks about which tank to use for SW and the sump. Post 15 starts w/good building advice.

You're . If you can or think of it, take some pics as you go and post them for reference for other people to! I'm going to when we actually start building.
