Wife has almost got me convinced.

here is a quick sketch of how i would do it

Carter, have no fear, let Ace do it and you'll be a happy camper, the door deal is easy money, Ace did a stand for me with that exact set up, and it works perfectly.

make all doors and panels with magnets and you can remove the side panels to work around the sump, its very handy.

remember the taller the better.

OK nice sketch, I see laying the 2x6 lay right on top of the 4x4. Maybe I could toe nail it together.

[hobogato]

no toenailing - drill a counter sink hole in the top of the inside 2x6 and use a 3" long deck screw to bolt it to the vertical stud

[sampsonndelila]

Oh I see. Like a lag bolt. That would be much stronger.

Honestly Hobogato (Ace), is there anything you DON'T know how to do? You truly are a "Teacher" in every sense of the word.

What a dumb idea to move my tank; but I will be doing it after we build my new stand this weekend anyways. Any thoughts or prayers would be appreciated.

Carter, call me a few hours before the move. My schedule changes instantaneoulsy so if I can, I'll give you a hand.
