So, I got the itch to upgrade my reef system. I am currently running a 90 gallon system with a Marineland Reef Ready tank. My plan is to have a reef system that is fully automated. After months of research, I ordered my tank from Planet Aquariums (and it is a masterpiece) and started to build my aquarium stand. I want my stand to be able to support this tank WITHOUT center supports on the front. To be able to accomplish this, I framed it out of 2" X 8" solid red oak. I then laminated a 2X4 piece of oak to that to support the cross braces. I can say that it should hold a ton.
I have been collecting components for the last 2 months also. I still need 75-100 pounds of rock and aquascape the tank before I can add any water.
