Hi everyone. I was thinking of building a new stand for my 90 gal reef. I was thinking of using extruded aluminum for the frame and then cladding it in wood to match my man cave. This is what I am talking about.

I did try making a stand out of wood but it wasn’t overly square even thou I tried my best. This would eliminate that issue. I would use the heavy stuff. Just want to know if I could avoid a middle beam where the doors would be. Could make the opening 38 inches giving me more support in the front and allowing me to get a 34” sump in and out if I wanted to change my sump. Any thoughts.
