Then I don't think I would need the foam since I will be bolting down the 2x4 wood frame of the tank to the 3/4 sheet for a complete pond armor/ low iron glass plywood tank build.

I priced out the footprint in acrylic 1.5 inch all around and it came out to 40k so plywood tank it is lol.
This is what I mean by laminate. Either reinforce with hangers or secure plywood to the front and back of the supports and horizontal wood.
This is a basic stand design that I generally use.
It can be up scaled and changed to fit most situations.

This is just a basic structural design.
The stand would have to be changed for larger tanks.
Adding additional vertical as needed to completely support the top frame and for a tank this size I would also had some X bracing on the sides and the back to stop and shifting in the front to back and left to right.
Bang on. Just had to ask the question in case someone saw that and wanted to replicate it for a much larger tank than intended.
We went tubular steel for our big tank stand. No crossing bracing, but plenty of vertical supports. (3 1/2" tubular steel)
