900 Gallon Steel Stand Help?
Does anyone have any photos or drawings of a steel stand that they used and that is over built for a tank around 900 gallons? What type of Steel did you use and how many braces. Also what did you coat it with to keep it waterproof? Any help would be appreciated and photos would be great! This stand is going to be for a tank 108 x 48 x 36 roughly 808 gallons.

Get it powder coated. Kind of expensive but it will last forever. Rhino lining would work as well and not crack if there were any flexing after the tank is filled |

Here's a cluttered pic of my stand-the tank is 108" x 48" x 32"and I used 2x2x1/4 wall mildsteel tubing and had it powdercoated-so far so good-

sweet, are you going to weld bolts to the frame and screw on a cover? Easy removal and look nice too!

Check out this thread as it has a lot of discussion about frame design.
