Design, Planning & Setup:

We choose a 120 gallon tank because we liked the length and were combining three saltwater tanks into this single tank and need something with some room to grow.

The stand was designed to accommodate up to a 55 gallon sump as well as side doors and an extra wide front door for easy access. Since my dad was building all of the stand, canopy and tower for me, I had to design some drawings for him to go off of.

Note – Top Center Brace Not Shown

Note – Original design was a 55g. Later switched to a 40 Long for height reasons.

Note – Tower slightly too tall and will be flush.

Note – Two days later the tank has cleared up.
