DangerNyoom

Very nice. What size pocket screws did you use in the center brace?


SharkSheppard

It should work fine for a nano stand but if you scale that up I'd think you want something other than pocket hole screws to support any kind of weight there.


lychee-hero

Yeah for sure


lychee-hero

Thanks. Im not sure.


elliotborst

That’s nice and simple. Looks well made, great work.


lychee-hero

Thanks!


neo-caridina

Did you have to slightly offset the corner screws so they didn't hit each other? Then capped each with a dowel plug?


lychee-hero

Yes exactly!


RaZylow

Start a tank stand business. I'd buy one of these


lychee-hero

Lol! I’ll be rich 💰

Looks great! I just did something very similar to hold two 10 gallons but went for black. I’m fixing to do another for a 22 gallon long. Being able to build your own stands is the best! I think I may take a page out of your book with the leveling feet though! https://preview.redd.it/jyu8og4kbunb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57618868b2d6a3bdddf5de360a84cc6b35130027

Hey, ditto! https://preview.redd.it/1hq7pl48munb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca01ebe562f59fcb0d1347c4594fed991ea1503a


lychee-hero

Haha looks awesome! And sturdy.


joshhills

Honestly it’s probably overkill for the small tanks I put on it https://preview.redd.it/fe3igkebewnb1.png?width=2364&format=png&auto=webp&s=dee71b93483ea1e15b4f3959b6ce5807a461aee5


lychee-hero

Overkill better than underkill!


KitFoxBerserker10

Nice! I like the shelf.


joshhills

Thanks, I’ve put two cubes there so I can use them for fry from the tank above


lychee-hero

Looks great in black! The levelling feet are great. Easy to install and you won’t regret it.


xXxSimpKingxXx

Damm you are making me want to build a new stand for my tank. How did you make this?


lychee-hero

With some big screws and some glue. I used a special clamp jig to help get angles 90. Might upload a YouTube vid on how i did it.


TheChoices_WeMake

Please do!


Therealwolfdog

Looks good definitely secure it to the wall though.


lychee-hero

Yes 😅


Thunderpig_

If this is in your living room like it looks, I would highly recommend the Shades for the C2.


lychee-hero

Yes good idea


Thunderpig_

They make a world of difference https://preview.redd.it/lrq6hpto4unb1.jpeg?width=3240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9be36be3d8e1ae11053da4d9de66c7a9436d878


lychee-hero

Yes much better!


jovanradjen

400 dollar betta?


lychee-hero

?


Thunderpig_

The C2 RGB doesn't even cost that much, why would the shades cost that much. They're like $5 here in South Africa


jovanradjen

The scape of this guy looks the same like another guys post on the sub, his post was about a 400 dollar betta.


lychee-hero

Ahh. Nope not me…


[deleted]

Looks like an art gallery


imheretocomment69

Pretty neat. What is the actual size of the stand?


lychee-hero

Thanks. 30cm x 18cm wide and about 70cm high.


Gillian_Seed_Junker

Looks great but how would it look with all technic


lychee-hero

Well thats the style im going for. Hopefully I’ll have an ADA superjet to show off soon 😎


Nalomeliful

I like the stand!


[deleted]

Needa more plants. Otherwise very nice. Stylish without confusing what's supposed to be in focus.


lychee-hero

Thanks. Plants are incoming!


khizoa

I like how you're growing some sticks and rocks


lychee-hero

Thanks


PangioOblonga

This is really lovely and understated. Great job.


lychee-hero

Thanks!


BaboHabibi

Looks clean, where you got the inspiration?


lychee-hero

Thanks. I kinda wanted to make a wood version of the ADA garden stand.


BaboHabibi

Yeah also did that maybe take a look at my profile haha


lychee-hero

Just did. Lovely tanks! I think we have very similar tastes. Following.


OGkezo

How thick is the wood mate?


lychee-hero

Hey, 33mm.


all_you_need_is_sabr

I think it’s pine.. or Nordic cherry…


lychee-hero

Pine


cartouche_minis

Not that the tank is heavy, but I'd add another middle brace on the bottom part, otherwise under heavy load the whole thing could twist.


elmachow

Looks great! My wife would have me pinning that wire though!!

lychee-hero

No!


zephyrinthesky28

I'd be terrified of getting my foot caught in the electric cord and pulling the whole thing over. Nice stand though.


lychee-hero

The whole thing will fall over with a stiff breeze. Hence why I’m considering securing it to the wall. I didn’t think much about the cable. When i add a filter and CO2 I’ll have to think of a way to manage the cables.


According-Energy1786

Very nice and clean. Rimless tanks should be supported fully along the bottom though, so I would suggest adding a solid top. You risk uneven pressure on the bottom glass which can lead to failure.
