Hi guys,
Looking to build a stand that will hold a 150 gal. custom tank. Obviously, I'm concerned about the weight and having something strong enough to hold it.

Does anyone have any DIY plans that they could share? I am just looking for ideas that I can use to build my own.
Thanks.

It's an epoxy waterproofing membrane , marine stores may have it but you might have to go to a specialist store Coastal Supply is the one near me good luck.

jeffbrig, that is one sweet setup. I love the marble top on the stand.
