DIY 10 gallon aquarium stand?
- Thread starter Gambusia
- Start date
i made one for a 20g/10g and 180g
A 10g would be cinch. 2 X 4s would be plenty. Some screws and a nail gun will do the trick.
Heres the 20/10g growouts. I should've used a mat paint, but all i had was gloss.

Sure its possible. I built one for my 20g, and it can be sized down to fit a 10g. Here are some pics:

No pressure treated. Its not touching the water in the tank but its too close and the possibilty of tank tools/food/etc touching it.
The old greenish has arsenic and copper in it. that equal dead fish very quick.
I dont know what the new yellowish has in it but its supposed to be more ecologically sound. all i know is its a rip off. they decided to use a substitue that rusts regular steel nails in 3 months or less. you have to but special screws at 4x the cost(or so the box says)..blahhh
not to mention its overkill. if your stand is going to be wet enough for long enough to rot, you have bigger problems.
