New tank for move, 48x 24 and 24 high, 80 gallons. I have imy 60 gallon plumbed into my guestroom closet now but new 80 gallon will be room divider of sort in living room.

I need a tank, but have no built time with move. Anyone know best route, I've seen some folks build amazing stands from wood. Other aluminum with detachable panels. Anyone making stands any sites?

I should have started on this earlier but too busy with work and hey I procrastonte. Any help appreciated.

I know the tank I am ordering, just need stand in next 30 days.

So I have been looking at 8020. Is it as simple as buying the lengths and corners and putting it together?

Also, doors, detachable set aside magnetic type, anyone have any good sources for these materials? Thank you.

Isn’t that a 120 gallon tank?

I found plenty of examples on YouTube that lay out how to build simple stands. Some more complex as well. But I basically copied something from YouTube.
