DIY 20G long stand
Ok so i managed to get my hands on some free wood and cabinet doors so i made a fish tank stand with the help of my father's chopsaw and tablesaw. I used 4x4's for the posts because i had them available and they were free and i didn't have 2x4's. It seemed like a waste but at least now i know i can put any amount of weight on the sucker that i want in the event i wanted to put a 37g tank on it i think i could fit it. All in all i spent less than $50 on this project. Only thing left to do is stain it.

Re: DIY 20G long stand
Looks very nice... I built my 75G stand for less than 15.00.. also hosts a 30G long beneath. Mine doesn't look pretty but it does the job. I don't have a carpentry skills to deliver what you did....Great job..Bill in Va.
