Default Plant Clippings?

Unfortunately,
A divorce would be more costly than the tank and the pleasure derived from
it.

On the upside, she's agreed our 3rd bedroom can become a fish room with "one
tank." LOL

Now, One tank to me has been translated into my twisted mind into a 125gal
tank that I will put on a homemade stand capable of holding 2 75 gallon
tanks under it. LOL

Or should I do 2 75 gallon tanks on top & 1 125 gallon tank on bottom? You
know, you just have to make the most of the room you're given.

See, she wants to make sure we can still have a bed in the room. WHy?!?! I
have no idea.

So, I'm thinking about it a bit more... it has to the 125 gallon 1st. That
way when I build the stand I simply make it REALLY big to house more tanks
later. ;O) I'll have to work on a good explanation why the stand is so
much wider than the tank though. Hmmmm... LOL

The way I see it... working the angle I want 2 75gallons under the 125
gallon, I need the stand to be at least 8 feet wide plus at least 12" for a
minimum of 3 pairs of 4x4 post/legs.

Anyone have a clue what type of setup I'd need to conjure up to constuct
such a beast? I'm thinking I'll use a slew of 2x4s for the top deck of the
stand to support the 125gallon and just use crossbars/braces along the
bottom. IT has to be done right the 1st time since by the time the 75s are
added the 125 will be in place and fully loaded. *G*

Now mymind is becoming VERY devious... in OCT the wife and kids are likely
to go to Australia for a few weeks... that'd be a great time to buy 2 75s,
right? LOL

Evil, purely evil.... just the way I like it.

Seriously any links, suggestions, etc for such a stand would be most
appreciated.

Cheers,
John

I'm "discussing" tanks with my wife as I am very angry at being twisted

to
give away my 75 gallon tank a few months ago.

Grounds for divorce, I'd say! ;-)
