80/20 t slot aluminum size

[Tom nhia]

Hi
I was wondering what size i should go. The stand im planning to make is going to be 82 by 20 and support a 80 or so gallon acrylic tank 40 breeders at the bottom around 5 or so inches off the floor
Thank you for any help and suggestions

Depends on the design configuration of the stand, more specifically, what will be the longest horizontal span holding up how much weight. After you know that there are several load calculators available online to help you design it.
