A little DIY aquarium stand trick of mine

Put hinges on one side. Easy access.

It's cool to look back at the old fishroom, i really liked the layout, entire wall filled with tanks 😎

I think what your doing is great. Another product to face your stands, is called coreplas. It used to make signs. It's light comes in all clouds., cheap and it plastic, so water won't hurt. Oh it looks like plastic cardboard. Cheers all.

Oh wow. I didn't the shims were just there this whole time

Have a question for you I'm just getting back into the hobby I have a 180 gallon fish tank I had a stand built its secured to the floor with some Hardy back on the top It's not perfectly level can I just place a few shims under the tank itself it level it before I fill it. Its not a large gap A 16 of an inch

Why are you yelling mate. this isnt a kids channel

What paint did you use?

Magnetic catches would have been more expensive but would have lasted longer and looked better, just a thought .

Longtivity! lol

If it's not providing any structural integrity, 1/4 inch plywood, would be fine. It's cheaper and lighter. Also, you could make the ends of the panels longer so that it looks like one long skirt from end to end.

I dunno.

french style cleats would look better. I think it was the 375 you put those on. Don't remember exactly

How would you paint these stands??

Awesome Build! Great information about the plywood.

Cool build! Are you using Styrafoam support on those rimmed tanks?

Great and cheap tip 😁 xx

HAFELE KIKO CLIPS!!! They are strong and pop on/off.

Use them all the time.

Carpenter and joiner.
TRUST ME you won't want to use anything else.

I would use dowels painted black

Glue in pegs where the pilot holes are drill hole in said pegs put board on then put nail in hole in peg

Should of wrapped them before putting the tanks in place

You should of used magnetic clips

i hope the stands ar staibel i se it moving when you tuk of the panell ,no cros bars?

You could always strategically place tall growing potted plants in the spaces between the tanks. Will still camouflage the hardware underneath, will look amazing, will purify air and bring a little outside in, ya? Some lucky bamboo, some ficus, some ferns....they'd end up hugging the tanks and look all tropical, especially if it's humid and warm in there! I'm a bit of a plant junkie though and you don't seem to have a cat that will eat the leaves LOL

You should consider sunken lights

Instead of painting the floor you should do an Epoxy finish.

That’s a great idea!! Been thinking about building a tank stand and was really worried about how I was going to handle covering everything!

I love you Joey but huh? I'm glad that looks nice and convenient for you. That's a little Wile E. Coyote for me. Nonetheless, I look forward to what's next! :)

Are you using power tools?? DALE NO POWEERTOOLS!

Hey use tool box liner and 2 inch velcro. Works soooo much easier and cheaper:) and its weatherproof

the humidity in the inside created by the sumps will make the wood expand and deform too...right??

Glad to see you use wood shims to level your stands too lol

Hi Joey, will the paint fumes affect the fish in any way? The reason I ask is because I am planning to decorate my home. And am worried about the fumes around my tanks.

Put an Oscar in with the Redtail

Hey Joey this is probably to late but if you went from the left stand brace all the way to the start of the next left brace, thus the gaps are closed and you can still remove the pieces of wood, or just every other one could go stand to stand with the opposite ones only covering the gaps between, so basically one might be +10 inches the width of the stand and the next would be just the width of the stand and so on. Doesn't bother me to see behind the tanks but for those that are easily bothered this might be a great compromise.

great idea

you could bridge the gaps with thin strips of plywood

Good idea👍👍👍👍

you could chalk paint the stands and write ideas for the tanks or stuff like that on them

Hi.
Great job.
Bye.

BRILLIANT!

looking great 👍🏼 would love to see a giant red tailed gourami in with your giant gourami once the tank is set for Susan!

What an abrupt ending hahah

Sorry king but screws to hook ply on shabby. Love the new set up though 👍🏻

Great job Joey love watching your vids
Gives me a great inside look of how I wanna set up my fish room

You could have used magnets to make them look nicer =)

Looking good Joey keep on keeping on!

💖💖💖

Same thing u did for the red tail tank NICE
