MReef20 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) I'm in the process of my new SCA 90 gallon build (48lx18wx24h), and I've built my stand using the standard RocketEngineer design - I'm using 2x6s for the top frame, and I used 1/2" plywood on the top (i.e. not a bare frame). Here's where I'm having second thoughts - I can't remember my exact logic at the time, but I built the stand an inch long as well as wide (49"x19"). So, the tank sits 1/2 inch "inset" from the outer edge of the 2x6. Reality is that the tank is closer to "centered" on the frame. I keep telling myself that this should not be a problem, but I guess I'm used to the tank always being on the outer edge of the raw frame. So my main question is, does anyone have any concerns with where exactly the tank sits on the frame as long as it's not over/under hanging? Thanks!

MReef20 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Picture for fun Note that the tank appears more "inset" than 1/2" because of the outer plywood skin and trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, thank you...not sure why I've been psyching myself out today - probably because I'm gonna start filling, and I don't want 90 gallons of saltwater on the floor (and a broken tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxkenny90xx Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Yep your good to go. And if it makes you feel any better my tank is about 10" longer than the framing in my stand (5" per side) 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
