Hello Everyone,
I am in the planning stage of upgrading my 225 to a 450 gallon tank. I am working with various stand designs and wanted to see if anyone has any examples or some structural engineering knowledge for a steel stand that is 8ft long with no center vertical support in the middle?
I would like to keep the center of the stand wide open for easy access for sump additions, corrections, or removal. Going in from the side is not going to be an option since the tank is going to be in wall between my office and family room.
Any ideas or advice would help.
