Need help reinforcing stand

[Thai]

Ok before I fill my 265 up I want to reinforce the manufacturer stand with some 2x4s, kind of like what Dave did with his 250 build. I just don't trust the factory stands with a tank this big. Can anyone with experience in this and a saw help me out? Funds are tight ( baby on the way) but I could trade fish or equipment for help!

You have a baby on the way? Remind me to send you a photo of the one-fish two-fish nursery, complete with wall-mounted fish bowls.

Yes Becca we are expecting our first baby in February! I'd be interested to see this fish nursery!

Thai,
I could probably help you out one evening after work next week, one new papa to one about to be. I can bring the saw and I will see if I have some extra lumber lying around but we should be able to put something decent together relatively cheap. Just send me a PM with your phone, email and address. I work at Belvoir so getting there shouldn't be too bad after work.
