Any 220 Gallon DIY Stands out there?

[BIGJchar]

Looking for some direction on building a stand for my 220, I got a free stand with the tank but it looks so flimsy I got fathom it holding when the tank is full of water. I'm either leaning at a stand fully compromised of 2X6's or 2X8's stacked and cross braced. I'm going to look at also making sure there is enough room for a 55 or 75 gallon sump underneath as well. If you could post some pics I love looking at people's DIY stand builds. Thanks!

Figured i would link my latest build thread in which has my stand build and sump setup among other stuff:

New used tank!

Picked up a 150 tall (72x18x29) off craigslist today. 3/4" front and back and 1/2" sides. Looked to be in decent shape but there are a couple minor chips in one end. I dont think they amount to much but wanted to run them past you good mfkers. The chips do not appear to be more than...

My stuff is pretty rudimentary. There are tons of fantastic builds way more complex and in depth than mine on here though.

You could build the whole thing with 2x4s for a 220, but maybe use 2x6 for veryical supports if you wanted. Heres an older stand i built for a 225 out of 2x4s and 2x6s
