I can't tell from the pic, but if you notice, it's two different stands. It looks like the first is a standard 48"x18", maybe for a 90, or 120? The second one looks as though it may be a square 24"x24". I'm not sure though.

I believe this is the standard tank stand frame, it gets covered by plywood or whatever you choose. It can't be beat for rigidity and sturdiness. I believe the OP stated that each vertical 2x4 is good for about 10,000 lbs; and once the plywood or shell gets screwed in place, there's no chance of torsion, twist or fwd/backwards side/side sway. It's actually overkill. I love them because the whole front below the tank is open; no center vertical piece to get in the way.
