I am lokking for a set of plans to build a stand and canopy for a standard 55 gallon stand. I am not to handy so the more detailed the better. Thanks

Oh, C'mon. I know someone here has built a 55g stand before. If no one has plans maybe someone has a picture diary of their build. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The above link from GARF works well and easy to do. You can cover it with your choice of wood. If as you state "not to handy" then it is a good one to start with. Only cost you a few 2 x 4"s.

The calculator I made for GARF is at http://www.garf.org/tank/buildstand.asp.

The one I posted before is more like ones you would find in stores...

Thanks,

Scott,

I had just "assumed" it was the basic one.:)

I tried the other site, and it does not want to pull up any plans. Gets an error msg.??

Thanks
