I am debating on how big to make my plywood build. Its going to be a tanganyika tank. I want to get my moneys worth in building it ,but I am worried about how much weight my floor can hold.

What would be some things you would consider? Do extra wide tanks look funny since there is only one viewing window?

I am thinking of doing:
Height-24 Width-24 Length-72
or
Height-24 Width-36 Length-72
or
Height-24 Width-48 Length-72

Any bits of advice will help. I have been saving up my money for this so I am really excited!
 
mine is 72x24x36 its nearing completion go under you house and dont run the tank length wise with your supports but perpendicular that way you have more of them supporting if if you have a basement thats ideal.....here is a picture of mine almost done
