i have finally started my 300gal build (woo hoo!!!).
here are a couple of picks as i construct my stand, the tank will be 7x30x30.the first leg goes up.

ok my photos are kinda all over the place, i`ll work on it. the timber i used was 90mmx45mm stuctural pine, cheap like dirt. the local hardware store dude told me to use 12 x 4x4s for the legs!!! (hello)

then i filled all the gaps with liquid nails

Coming along nicely. Did you have to get a crotch shot?

well its kinda hard keeping something of that size out of the way, LOL, (sorry).

ok, then i used 6mm ply to skin the back n base

then i smeared it all in filler, no real reason for this but it does make it smooth n kissable.
