    no, that isnt what i meant - i was thinking of a 2x4 wood frame under the top tank. you cant share the sides between the tanks because the best way to construct a tank is with the bottom under the edges of the side panels. the top tank could not be built that way if the sides are shared. i have an idea about how your acrylic bracing could work - ill see if i can draw it up.

    If there was wood under the top frame then the light couldn't get from the single fixture on top of the top tank to the bottom one ... I was mainly trying to be light frugal and stacking the tanks to avoid having to setup another light setup ...

    Ace, what was your idea for stacking the tanks? Would the light be able to pass through the floor of the upper tank?

    i just meant that you could put a 2x4 framework under the top tank - there would still be spaces for the light to pass thru the bottom.
