Hello all,
I'm thinking of making my own stand for a 75 gallon aquarium. Dimensions are 48x18x36 inches and was wondering if Poplar wood would be ok to use since it is cheaper. Oak is more expensive and supposed to be a harder stronger wood. I am reading Poplar is considered a hard wood and should be strong enough. One local wood worker suggested poplar would be fine. Any thoughts?
