Floor plan of my office with "fish Closet". To Scale.


All overflow pipes will travel along the wall behind the two tanks and through the wall into the fish room, terminating in the sump. The wall behind the tanks is an outside wall, so heat from the AC will dump straight outside. My desk is against the wall directly across from the 220.


Miracles guarantees their warranty with DIY stands, as long as the stand in question meets their requirements. I'm pretty sure mine will do the trick.

Based off of RocketEngineer's DIY stand template:




2x6 Base:


2x4s to hold the plywood floor off the ground:




All 2x6 Top:


Sealed with Kilz primer:





This stand was designed and built so that I could remove the legs and assemble it at its final destination. I had to do it this way as the stand is 30" wide and 36" tall, and the doorway to the office is only 29.75" wide.
