New to this but i have a 20 gallon tank in progress.. But i dont have a stand can somene tell me all that ill need and can i do this on my own

their is 2 ways of building a stand.
1- using 2x4
2-using 3/4 plywood.
since it is only a 20 gallon i would go with option 2
give me the exact dimensions of the tank and i'll draw something up for you.

Why do you not just purchase a stand. It will be more cost effective for a 20g tank. After purchasing wood, screws, drill/screwgun (if you don't have one already). The cost and difficulty is far outweighed by simplicity.
