What is the best and esiest way to build/construct an aquarium stand that can support 50-75 Gallon tanks? (est...500-800lbs to support) without involving any welding.

any suggestions on homemade aquarium stands?
 
I'm looking for something that has plans and pictures of tanks that are already built, kinda hard to figure out the dimensions if you don't have the tank yet, that you are building the stand for, with out knowing the size of the tank first that you're actually getting
 
If you don't know the dimensions, how do you expect anyone else to know?
 
My question isn't about the dimensians, even though I know what you mean by not knowing the dimensions first, but what I'm asking is what is the best and esiest way to build/construct an aquarium stand that can support a tank ranging between 50-75 Gallons? (est...500-800lbs to support) without any welding. I't might be a tall tank, it might be a long tank, it might even be a shaped tank, I dunno what style I want yet, all I'm asking about is what's best to support the weight.
 
2x4s. Screws. Build a top frame and a bottom frame, and sandwich vertical supports between them, doubled up in the corners.
 
This is what you should do.
