[5 / 3 / ?]
I'm trying to build a small scale, amateur abalone tank/farm and can't find any plans or ideas online. I plan on using a 55 gallon plastic drum as the tank. I will have it lying on its side with a hole cut across the whole length of the top side (think basically a barrel cut in two lengthwise). I need to build a frame for it to sit in and that's where I am having trouble. It needs to be about 6 inches off the ground to allow pipe from an upwelling system to be fitted into the bottom of the barrel. Any ideas for a minimalistic, wooden frame I could build to house the tank?
