Very we'll thought out solution for the register heater. I like it! The only concern I would have is cracking the tile floor under the weight.

The bottom is very flat so the weight will be dispersed evenly, shouldn't be a problem. I actually didn't even consider that a possibility. Tile can hold a lot of weight. I've got some spare tile, I'll perform a weight test in it and see how it goes. |

looks great! now how do you get the sump in the stand lol I'll move the stand out when I put the sump in. Two of the three supports in the back can be removed so the sump can be placed. This was our back up location for the tank, I designed it so the plumbing and wires would not be visible from the sides for a cleaner look. Bonus heat in the winter can't hurt. |

Love the stand it's gonna look awesome when finished I'm sure....What ate you gonna do to finish the stand? Stain and varnish or paint? I'm guessing your going to stain it since it looks like your using oak veneer plywood?

I've got some spare tile, I'll perform a weight test in it and see how it goes. They crack pretty easily. The issue is that when they lay tile each tile isn't leveled. There are usually a high spot and when you put downward pressure on that individual tile it ends up leveling...by cracking. I cracked a couple tiles under my 75 gallon. I also laid the tile myself so it was amateur hour. |
