Muttley000 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looks good! Aren't pocket holes awesome? Just making sure, you are plywood skinning the back and at least one side to prevent racking right? I know I'm probably too far but I have lots of 0 TDS water if you are going back or forth to Eden today, and I will be home part of the morning today. I'm sure one of the guys close to you has some extra, check the thread we have on emergency Rodi. Can you just get a guy on each end and move the whole thing at once? Should only weigh. If you drain a couple buckets of water I bet you could get that whole system down to a manageable weight easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I wanted to leave the back open I planned on eventually putting plywood sides on the inside of the stand for the sides. What would you recommend I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley000 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If you want to leave the front and back open I would at least put some triangles screwed in the corners of the back. As big as you can without wrecking the view you are after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsonvice Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I did 4 corner cuts on the bottom back side supports and on either side of the center support. You could also do corner support on the top inner rim. You wouldn't see these at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Did your nem move on his own or did you encourage him? Stuff looks good mounted on that board. Did you ever put any diagonal bracing on the back? I can't see it and really feel you would be safer with something there. What did you find out on your Ph? Sorry I have been really busy, so I have a lot of questions built up lol. Everything is looking happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 I bought stuff to recalibrate the ph probe. Anemone moved on his own once I added the other Wavemaker and split last night so now have two of the green ones. I haven’t added anything for the supports because I’m afraid the wood will split now. Added side panels to the stand. If you have a smart way to add supports I’m all ears. Stand has 10 23” verticle boards i wouldn’t think it would move stands only 30inches high.
