This video should teach you all you need to know about building a stand that can supports many times more weight than any fish tank that can fit on it. I also have a brief guide with photos on my tank thread, feel free to take a look.

6'. 125 gallon tank. Mostly redwood because it doesn't warp much and is water resistant.
All hardware is bolt through hot dipped galvanized and there is very little overlapping of wood to prevent water seeping in between wood.

My Tank Thread
I'm right at 90 gallons....five foot long. And I used @RocketEngineer 's plans.
I topped the stand with 3/4 plywood and skinned the stand with (I think) 1/2 inch plywood. I am a woodworker but believe the stand should be simple appearance so the eye goes to the tank and not the fancy woodworking. Added an equipment cabinet to the left that included open panels in the stand to exposing the "refugium" section of the sump, and an open panel in the equipment cabinet as a display area.
This is right after I painted the room blue
