has anyone ever gone and looked at a proffessional tank stand in the LFS for tanks that size? I am always shocked when I see that they are put together with just plywood stapled and glued together but they hold well. I think the thing that first gets everyone about this stand is that the braceing doesn't appear to go to the end of the tank. I think it looks good and I hope that it all holds up, just keep an eye open for rust building up and possibly causeing weak spots on the frame itself. You don't see it often but I have seen it happen on a 800 gallon tank, wood doesn't rust thats really the advantage of that. Love the set up Keep us posted as you tweek the set up.
