Im soon going to begin building a stand for a 120 gallon (60"x18")aquarium and would like to build it from steel tubing. Im also looking to have it powdercoated so it will stay nice for many years of exposure to a saltwater environment. Im not a "pro" welder but I have had some practice. I have a place local that does the powdercoating but have no idea what they will charge (or what I
should be charged for something like this).
Here are some specs that may influence the design:
- Tank is 60"x18"
- Stand height is to be 32" tall
- Stand will sit on Engineered Hardwood flooring
- Some other things I havent thought about yet (or havent been reminded of by the RC community
)
I know that I have seen many awesome steel stands here on RC and would appreciate any information (tubing size, costs, "lessons learned", etc) that I can get prior to diving into this project. So with that said.... Lets see some steel stands!
