Patricidal board, balsa wood..

HAHAH jk,
Pine, clear pine is a lot stronger.

clear pine gets expensive really fast. knots really don't make any difference in compressively stressed members (those holding the weight of the tank).
 
i'm going to be building a stand for one of these tanks too and i'm trying to plan out how to do it. mines a 210 AGA of the same dimentions as his. only diffenence is that my tank is going to have overflows. does anyone know where they put the overflows? only in the corners? or is there one in the middle too?

btw these tanks are the best deal if you go to petland discounts. mine is getting delivered t my house with help for $685!
 
Chomps : Yeah that's true, but some times the knotted timers are really poor quality, Comming from a building background and depending on the size/weight of the tank... well you know what I mean. :P But yeah it's a tad on the $$$ side, you cal always get extra bits of knotted pine and just cut out the crappy ends, it's just easier to buy good timer and use it all.
