Holy Overbuilt Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are gonna sleep like a baby at night.

Looks great, work to be proud of, thought 2x6 may be a little overboard, but better too much than too little.

looks like a tank.

if the tank is acrylic, i would put a later of plywood and styro right under tank

You could stack 2 260 gallon acrylic tanks on that and fill them with concrete.
