Hello all. I am planning on building a stand for my frag tank. Dimensions are 36”x 24” x 10” tall. 3/4” acrylic. I am using the plans that rocket engineer created. A couple things I’m not sure of:
The tank is drilled in the bottom only
1 5/8” from the back edge leaving just enough room for pvc to pass the top 2x4 but leaving no space to put a bulkhead. I’m guessing I have to move the tank forward at least 3/4” to make room for bulkheads meaning the tank would only be resting on half of the 2x4.
Would this still be structurally sound?
Also I want to put plywood on the top that the tank sits on. I know 3/4” is a lot stronger,but is it necessary or could I use 3/8”?
