Great build man! What’s your thoughts on keeping the uprights inside the stand a few mm off of the floor to limit contact and prevent any levelling issues? I see a few builds done that way

@givetanks 7 күн бұрын

As long as the main stand structure is supported I don't see and issue

This is one solid stand! I had a few run ins with "weird angles and not being square" a couple of runs 😅 Good call on the electrical switch safety as well! Saved me once when a heater exploded!

Hey looking great so far..Im getting ready to start on mine.I was wondering were those screws the self drilling ones where no pre drilling is required,and what size.I hear that you have to use the #8-2 1/2" but can the #9-2 1/2" be used as well.This by far is the most solid and step by step tutorial for a good stand build bro.

@givetanks 6 ай бұрын

The screws are just deck screws and I think #9 should be fine as well, pre drilling may or may not be needed - just depends if your wood is too dry and splits

What size screws did you use for the plywood top,and have you considered finish nails?

@givetanks Ай бұрын

They might work but I like to over engineer things and I use 1" for the top

#8-1"

Hey man were nice build video, Keep them coming. sturdy but seams a bit overkill, better safe than sorry i guess ;)

@givetanks 9 ай бұрын

I always overkill because I don't know if I'm going to use for 10 gallons or 100. I like to keep my options open

@johnrobertd748 3 ай бұрын

But how to figure out how much weight it will hold? 200 gallons is a lot different from 50 gallons

@givetanks 3 ай бұрын

one 2 x 4 has an axial load of roughly 1000lbs so if you used 2 x 4's in the middle and did two support struts in the middle unlike the one I did you could park your car on it. FYI 200 gallon is about 1600lbs. But I'm not an engineer so get professional advice if your worried about it - you could also have angled supports and make it bullet proof.

How much weight do you think this can hold?

@givetanks 2 ай бұрын

Should be able to hold a lot - the exact weight I'm not sure.

I disagree with the GFI outlet. Yes it will help from killing you but if it trips and your not home for hours upon hours your fish will die.

@givetanks 2 ай бұрын

A battery back up will help with that, like a mp10 or 40

@haroldgreen1425 4 ай бұрын

Retired electrician and life long fish keeper. I will never put an aquarium on a gfci. Why? Because a simple power surge may trip it and kill hundreds if not thousands of dollars of fish or other livestock.

@givetanks 4 ай бұрын

This is true, but I've never had this issue and I have been shocked before,, so I will always put them on a gfci. Plus everything is on a battery back up so not really an issue. Plus, I can replace a tank - not me or anyone else if they get shocked badly.

@@lastditch727 the risk is low but it has happened but your breaker would most likely trip too but a GFCI could also help prevent a piece of equipment for shorting out and keep arcing to prevent a house fire
