Man I'd love to have the hobby be self-sustaining. Never gotten to that stage myself ... maybe one day.

Anyhow, 3/4" plywood with an internal 2x4 frame is going to be one solid stand. The stand I built for my 75g is built like that and I think you could drive a car onto it and it wouldn't flex.

We had a 150 gallon cichlid breeding ground on the go for a couple of years. We sold hundreds of red jewels, F2 yellow labs, red empress, etc. and found that best case scenario it paid for the food for the fish and the media for the filters.

You are going to need one huge system and a lot of interested buyers to make your system self-sustaining. It simply costs too much in tank space and food to grow out the babies. However, we are not professionals by any means. Wishing you the best of luck with it!
