Hello!
I had a question about a stand build I was planning. I want to use all pine, but cant get it in 2*4 dimensions. So what I was thinking on using was 1*3 or 1*4 in place of the 2*4's in the pic. Do you think it would hold the weight of a 55 gal tank, with pool filter sand about 1 1/2 to 2" and about 30 pounds of rock or so with the water? Also using tongue and grove between vertical supports will make it like havin 4 1" ply front to back for vertical supports than just vertical legs or jacks. Also it will be up on 6 or 8 heavy duty adjustable cabinet legs which are rated for 450 pounds each, due to uneven floors in my apt. Any suggestions would be great.
The Cut list will change if I change to all pine!
Thx
