    Im looking for some info on a plan for a 720 gal aquarium stand. Im leaning towards 4x4's and 2x4's with carrige bolts. I have an idea but im looking for a design. I can't believe to this day that my 300 Gal aquarium is supported by a pine stand held together by large staples. Its simply nothing more then 1x4" pine boards and staples. Its the stand that came with it new. I know this will never work for my new monster. Any help would be great.

    Check out Jason's build on his 370. That stand would hold up a house with 2x6 standing on end.
