As promised, here is my 2 tank project

so are the bricks attached to anything? or just stacked?
 
That is really cool! I like how you utilized the extra space under the big tank between the bricks to fit in another tank, too. What kind of store did you buy the bricks from? I don't think I've seen anything like that at our local Home Depot, that's for sure.

No they're just stacked, the bricks as you can see in one of the close-up pictures interlock into each other, so they can't slide off... it's very solid

My Home depot had similar bricks but not in the colors I was looking for,the size I was looking for, they didn't interlock into each other either. Plus they were 3$ each instead of 1.80$.

I bought these at a local brick masonry construction store.
They use these bricks for driveway walls or garden walls.
 
Looks really good, but I wouldn't want the 10g right on the floor. Just 'spitballing' here, but perhaps a simple 2x4 box frame with a wood shelf to raise it off the floor (the 3 1/2" of the 2x4) but still have plenty of clearance?

I don't understand "(the 3 1/2" of the 2x4) but still have plenty of clearance?"

The 10G is not completely on the floor, it's sitting on the base 3/4 thick Pine base that is on the floor.
 
I like the brick stand! Different than what I normally see and very nice looking...

Also, is it bad to have the tank on the floor directly?
Vibration from walking,stressing the fish?

Thanks :D
 
Looks great! Although I would keep a close eye on it once filled, as the 65 is really only supported at the corners right now, as that pine doenst look strong enough to support load.
