By the way the site will also tell you how to build the stand as well. http://www.garf.org/tank/buildtank.asp Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |

koi keeper    Moderator Posts: 3203 Kudos: 2033 Votes: 240 Registered: 29-Dec-2001   | In an 8 foot tank you are going to want at least two center braces on top. How do you plan on bracing it? over both sides and pulling together, or attaching them and being between? Koi Empty chairs at empty tables, the room silent, forlorn. |
