Building stand for large tank

[lil_clownfish13]

My dad built me a stand and used metal brackets to brace the corners of the stand (it was only for a 66) but he used solid oak to do it (to make it stronger) and built bracing inside it as well. I wish i had a picture to post for you-- just dont use junky plywood or chipboard-- it gets wet...and thats it...Oh and also-- mine was a cabinet style stand-- so flat on top, flat on bottom (to distr. weight) and then a 2 cabinet setup underneath--

sorry to be long winded-- but maybe try the metal brackets... insurance etc.
