Habitat - Outdoor :: DIY tank stand??

[harleysmom]

I have a 60 gallon aquarium. I have it on the floor right now but if I want to make an external canister filter work when I buy one this weekend, I'll have to have the tank raised cuz I know the filter needs to be below water level.

Did anyone make any easy stands? I don't have many tools/materials, and I live in an apartment so not really any space to construct a big wooden stand or weld plexiglass or anything.

Someone gave me a good idea to get red bricks or cinderblocks and use those with a sheet of plywood on top for a stand. If I can find any cinderblocks in this hick village I will, but just in case, does anyone have any other ideas of what to use/what will be strong enough for an improvised tank stand??

or post pictures of ones you've made.
Thanks so much.

for my stand on my 29 gallon tank i used 4 cinderblocks and 4 boards you would see used on a deck or picnic table. Its set up kind of like the diagram below and each of the flat lines are 2 boards placed next to each other on the blocks
