aquarium stand

Again assuming the phrase "properly built" that stand will hold almost 10x that weight.

*When you built did you use glue as well as screwing it together?
*Did you use at least 3" screws. also pre drilled helps by not weakening the wood from splitting.
*Is it level?

Pharoah did a post on the strength of wood we use for our aquarium stands.

Good luck, and pics (lots of them) would be helpful in trying to assess your work

Truth be told then you should be good. The plywood skin will kill any lateral movement. I just built a workbench and I put my 300# carcas on it with little movement and it is built half that sturdy.
