how to make a stand for in wall tank

ddecker · 10/10/2010, 08:22 PM

Hi, I am Dena I am new to the hobby and setting up a tank. We are finishing our basement and I've always wanted a salt water tank. I have started doing some research and I've got a tank and I plan to put into a wall behind our bar. We have a room behind this wall so that there is plently of room for sump, making water, and everything that goes along with keeping a salt water tank. My fiance and dad (who has done construction for 25 plus years) are going to build my stand. Does anyone have plans on how to build a stand that will work with an in wall tank?

Thanks,
Dena
