pine stands, any issues?

[pescado209]

had anybody ever had issue with pine wood stand that you buy for our tanks?.

I'm looking into buying this setup before the end of the month for my Oscars and polys, never had a pine stand for such a huge tank. cutrently largest tank is a 75 with a matching pine wood stand .

should I pony up the cash for a miter saw, make my own stand and and buy a tank.

or just buy this tank setup. on sale for $650

Don't see a issue with a all pine and no pressed wood because my stand for my 180 gal. was partially pressed wood and over time started to breakdown from getting wet and absorbing water after 19 years decided to build a stand and so happy I did.

I assume builders take all this into account. (I worked for manufacturers and in plants for about 21 years and my dad was an architect. This information is readily available to every builder, engineer and designer.)
