I got many request to start this post, so here it is.
I Started building and planning a 300 gallon reef to replace my current 140 gallon.
Tank is being made and I have started building the stand out of reinforced fiberglass and gluing it all together with special epoxy which is pretty pricey.
The fiberglass is NOT CHEAP but super strong and wont rust like steel (even if it is powder coated) or sag like wood and is lighter than both options.
A lot of care has to be taken when working and cutting this stuff, safety precautions have to be taken just like working on auto body fiberglass.
Here are some pictures of the progress...
