I think I made a big mistake yesterday. I was at Lowe's and went through 50 2x6 boards just to find 1 straight board. I then went to the pressure treated section and those boards were much better. I went went the pressure treated boards. I built the stand yesterday and it turned out great! Perfectly level and built like a beast. However, I read last night that pressure treated wood is not good to use because of the chemicals and it could warp.
Nothing will be under the stand as all equipment is in the garage. I glued the crap out of it and used stainless deck screws.
I really dont want to redo this if I don't have to. Not only money wise but due to the size I will have to cut it all down with a saw.
It is for my 500 gallon peninsula tank. Any thoughts before I go into demolition mode?
