- All Steps Below! This is the start of my large paludarium eco-system. I figured I would just document ever single step, literally. There are many step in making a large system, this is just one of them. The good news is this type of stand can be used for any type of tank - with any luck you'll be an dabbling professional too!

My plan is working 😁 glad to have ya!
This is the best tutorial I have ever seen so creative and entertaining and was easy to follow good job and thank you bro
Thank you! It's great to hear that as you never know how your filming is gonna turn out
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for commenting!
This is one solid stand! I had a few run ins with "weird angles and not being square" a couple of runs 😅
Good call on the electrical switch safety as well! Saved me once when a heater exploded!
Thanks man! Yeah I tend to overengineer things by a lot
@@givetanks it's well worth saving the potential heartache on something like this! Peace of mind!
@@IndoorEcosystem True!
@@givetanks This is not your first rodeo, judging by the video. ;)
@@Soulsack Nope I keep the bull in the back yard
Hey man were nice build video, Keep them coming. sturdy but seams a bit overkill, better safe than sorry i guess ;)
I always overkill because I don't know if I'm going to use for 10 gallons or 100. I like to keep my options open
But how to figure out how much weight it will hold? 200 gallons is a lot different from 50 gallons
one 2 x 4 has an axial load of roughly 1000lbs so if you used 2 x 4's in the middle and did two support struts in the middle unlike the one I did you could park your car on it. FYI 200 gallon is about 1600lbs. But I'm not an engineer so get professional advice if your worried about it - you could also have angled supports and make it bullet proof.
Hey looking great so far..Im getting ready to start on mine.I was wondering were those screws the self drilling ones where no pre drilling is required,and what size.I hear that you have to use the #8-2 1/2" but can the #9-2 1/2" be used as well.This by far is the most solid and step by step tutorial for a good stand build bro.
The screws are just deck screws and I think #9 should be fine as well, pre drilling may or may not be needed - just depends if your wood is too dry and splits
how does one use influence to create the absence of influence?
Tell a knock knock joke?
orientation...and expansion! decipher why people feel they have an influence to being with.....
What size screws did you use for the plywood top,and have you considered finish nails?
They might work but I like to over engineer things and I use 1" for the top
#8-1"
How much weight do you think this can hold?
Should be able to hold a lot - the exact weight I'm not sure.
I disagree with the GFI outlet. Yes it will help from killing you but if it trips and your not home for hours upon hours your fish will die.
A battery back up will help with that, like a mp10 or 40
Retired electrician and life long fish keeper. I will never put an aquarium on a gfci. Why? Because a simple power surge may trip it and kill hundreds if not thousands of dollars of fish or other livestock.
This is true, but I've never had this issue and I have been shocked before,, so I will always put them on a gfci. Plus everything is on a battery back up so not really an issue. Plus, I can replace a tank - not me or anyone else if they get shocked badly.
