A little place called C At Hell
Hello all,

I'm in the planning phases of a large plywood build, and I'm looking for feedback on the first design concept of the structural support of the stand. I contacted a friend who builds acrylic tanks about making a steal stand, but I wasn't impressed with his quote and figured it would cost much less to build my own with the rest of the project.

The black lines will be 2x4's
The brown blocks will be 2x6's

I don't have my 3d software anymore, so MS Paint has to do the trick. The tank will be 8' x 4' and I'll be working to get as much support as possible. The only issue I'm facing right now is that I would like to put 2 sumps underneath of the stand, and right now its looking more like I'd need to place them on the outside of the stand.

Please give any feedback with examples of why this stand might not work.
