You can build something like that I looked at the oneat my LFS and it is made of 1" ply-wood and 2x6 just so you have and idea. you would have to take the ply-wood and cut the legs (at least 3) cut holes for the 2x6 in all 3. then you pass the 2x6 trough the holes 1 in fron and one on back so there are each going through the 3 legs. Now you tow nail all the legs into the plywood. After you do that you put a stinger every 6-8" and screw them together (don't nail) these will keet it tight ang give you a place to mount ligting if needed. after that cover the stringers with .5" or .75" ply-wood also put a 2" strip of the 1" ply-wood under the arm that go troug the legs and screw that on. that will be over built enough to hold all the tanks just remember one set of tanks per leg and max 8' tall and as long as you can buy a 2x6 that you can make one peace out of it. hope this will help you out. and one more thing, you will have to paint it with a good primer and bathroom pain or extior paint and seal with clear coat.
