90g stand, 1x3 frame plywood skin, extra shelf

I'm sure itll be fine...someone might have already said this but I've never seen a stand built with 2x4's at any pet store they usually are basically just plywood no?

I want to build my 65g stand like this...itll be lighter to move between apartments.

It feels really sturdy with the tank on it right?

Yeah thats why we decided to go with the 1x3's. When you look at any store-bought stand they're not nearly as beefy as a 2x4 stand. Half of them aren't even as beefy as my 1x3 stand, so we weren't TOO worried about it standing up under the pressure.

And yes, it feels quite sturdy. It wound up being expensive, but I'm ok with that because I get exactly what I want out of a stand

Got any pics of this yet ? I'm curious how the 1x3 frame worked out.
