The thing I can't figure out is why the flip MDF aquarium stands exist. I'm an engineer/designer and work with MDF on a daily basis. To put it kindly its probably the weekest thing you could use and its extremely vulnerable to water. MDF will warp/sag without water or extreme wait over a period of 6-24 months if not adequately supported. Meanwhile cheap pine is So flipping strong per lbs its insane you'd eve consider using MDF. Note my tank pine stack:
A 6 ft span of unsupported glory!
thats why i love my job as a wood machinist,1 4ft + 1 7ftx3ft solid mahogany cabinet stand built at work using offcuts and rejects £35 or about $70 for both
