[sunny03]

hi will like heard the comment of this design of stand holding the 4ft x2 10mm tank with all the LR and sand in will it be strong enough ??

materials use are stainless steel and all the joints are wielded together as for thickness any suggestion ??

[sunny03]

ok

but what about the "L" shape part will it hold the tank ?? that the part that hold the tank

[alanseah]

i dont think this kind of L shape design is strong and able to hold...

[sunny03]

this is also wat i am worry about also

any other suggestion from other bro

[sunny03]

Remember stainless steel is a soft metal.

if you are using the L bar to support the tank, the whole L bar will flex.

The main supports, the sides and horizontal beams supporting the base of the tank, the 4 or 6 legs must be those hollow bars.

If possible go for 6 vertical supporting beam and weld them on top of another horizontal beam across. This way the weight will be evenly distributed.
