200 Gallon Glass Tank stand

[soulFish]

I'm picking up a 200 Gallon Glass tank on Sat but need to build a stand. It's 86" x 24" x 24". My question is how many vertical supports would it need in the middle? So including the corners if it had two centers it would be 4 supports or should it get 6? I am going to use 2"x4" screwed together as the vertical supports. The 4x4's are too hard to cut straight with my saw.

Suggestions?

I use a total of 8...4 in the center plus the corners...out of 4x4's in my design for a 240 stand. You can see it on my ...best laid plans....blog if you want.
If it makes you feel better then add an extra pair in the center but it's not really needed.
