Was wondering what I need as per 2x4 or 2x 6 for frame also if I need a back center support brace I do not won't a brace in the front to block my access to the sump compartment pics would be helpful thanks
 
3/4" plywood only. you don't need a center brace.

Hi robbie, i just built my Deep Blue rimless stand three months ago, here's the link to the build if it helps:

This is what I ended up going with now to be skinned and stained

Looks plenty strong! You'll want a floor in there but I'm sure you know that!
 
3/4" wood with no brace will absolutely work ( you need good quality plywood not the crap at the big box stores) you will also need to be pretty handy to make sure it's perfectly square.

2x4 frame is super simple and will hold that weight with ease lol. No need for 2x6
