Yeah, i'm trying to figure out how i will link the fuge and the trickle system i bought together so that i can just have it run through one continuous filter setup to include the massive beckett skimmer. I will have to tackle that beast of plumbing everything together once i get there and get it setup. Cause I am tankless at the moment i am thinking about building the stand and possibly the tank minus the glass being inserted. Strictly all the wood working aspect for now. Then the rest when i get there. The Army will move it for me so why not make them work for it right? Curious how they will fill about moving a 12' wood stand a box ha ha.

I know the picture is a little sketchy (no pun intended) but i am at work and have limited functions ha ha. Gives a basic idea. I was looking up and i know 4x4s might be a little over kill for the stand. They can support up to 3500lbs vertically. With the weight being dispersed over a 12' distance i could easily do 2x4s but want to try and limit the number of supports under the tank. For the top of the stand i want to use 2x6's and then 2x4s for the lower section between 4x4s. Curious what those engineer savvy people think if it is over kill or not.
