Chris. run the 2 center ports down into the reef pointing out from the rocks and have the 4 others pointing back towards the reef.

When are we going to start working on the stand?

Chirs,

Congratulations on your new tank, it is looking awesome. I know your were excited about getting a bigger tank but why so soon, you just put up the 90 which was nowhere close of being filled to its capacity and what are you going to do with the clam tank.

Ok, what do you have instore for us...something really big hope

its the exact same as the top post connection.imagine the way the top of the post looks but instead it has only 3 1/2" of wood sticking up past the double beam.

thats just the main framing,i plan on adding 2 more beams front and back.i wont have a center brace,,i plan on having a 36" opening for the front doors.plus once its skinned out with 1/2" it will be more than strong enough to support 1500lbs.

alrighty......i added in the front beams and now have a 40" wide opening between them.this should make it easy to get inside to work,i will have side doors as well.for the back in not going to add any verticle bracing,i plan on adding a second 2x6 to the frame effectively making a 4x6 for the back beam.i cant see a 4x6 with the weight of the tank,sagging without verticle supports.i also skinned the top out with plywood.everything has been screwed and glued so it wee be very strong.
