What can I put a tank on?

deangelr · 05/13/2011, 04:54 PM

I would like to plumb a 55g tank into the same sump I have two other tanks also sharing.. One tank has a stand the other is sitting on two kitchen chairs. I am out of good stuff the raise the third one up. I was thinking about putting it on two plastic buckets or something but that is probably not a good idea.

Any suggestions? I just need to get it off the ground so it can drain into the sump.

several concrete blocks with a piece of plywood over them

Thanks.. I was thinking that.. I am now thinking that a 29g instead of 55 will fit nicely on a couple of upside buckets. 55g too big

We need to see a post on Getto rigs of this in working order. LOL
I hope this is just temp. I dont know if the tanks will be full or not, if so use something other tan buckets.
We gotta see this please post a pick,so we can show our spouses that we need to spend alittle extra $ to do a tank stand right LOL

Haha.. The best part is that I am currently in an apartment with carpet and my tanks are all in my living room..

I am working on a breeding room and a living upgrade shortly though
