Hello everyone,
Im in the process of designing a 450 gallon aquarium with the dimensions of 72"x48"x30". The aquarium will be going in my basement and be in-wall with just the front viewing panel exposed. Because of the huge weight of this size aquairum (empty), it will have to be made of acrylic, as getting a glass tank of this size safely down a stairwell seems like way too much work.
My first question is will it be possible to construct a stand out of wood or will it have to be steel tube? I have a carpenter lined up to build the wall and he has said he would be willing to attempt the stand if I can create a blue print for him. And so, naturally, my next question is would somebody be able to help me design a wood stand using a software program or point me in the direction of how to accomplish this.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
