djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003	Is it possilbe to make a stand strong enough to support 2 180 - 300 gallon tanks? If so, do you think I could get some people at homedepot to do it if I gave them plans?

You'll have three or four good designs within the week (and a few ugly ones too). Carl

You would have to permanently install something that heavy and brace the floors pretty good, even a concrete basement floor may crack weith that much weight. http://www.warehouserack.com/
