Tank frame what size metal ?
« on: January 02, 2013, 11:25:16 am »
What size angle iron is best for a tank frame im going to get a custom frame made to fit my 210 ltr tank before summer gets here but im not sure what to buy ?

don't want to over do it as the thicker metal will weigh more  ;) ;)

Thanks Paul

Go get some heavy duty ratchet straps and strap it down

Go for mild steel and give it a good 2 or 3 coats of hammerite.
Stainless Steel is great but will be much more expensive.
