My pops and I built a stand for my new 150-gallon tank. Still not finished but here's a few pics

Still trying to decide. Right now just have two clownfish and a diamond goby.
I started another thread to get some recommendations here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tank-planning-after-a-few-years-hiatus.838169/

My Tank Thread
Looking good. My one suggestion is that it appears the front legs are transferring load through the fasteners and not directly through the wood. The rear of the stand, it appears the load is directly through the back legs. I'd suggest adding two boards to the frond of the stand to allow load to go directly to the lower frame, not relying on the fasteners. In this picture, I'm suggesting adding the front purple boards.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to add them

This. Add some boards between the top and bottom so the boards support the load instead of screws.Looking good.
