Stand for a 100 Gallon tank

[reefking807]

I need to know that the best way to build a stand for my 100 Gallon tank. I'm gonna go to be putting in a dry box area that way my plugs and equipment isn't exposed to water. But I want to know the best way to build the frame. 1x4 or 240 I'm going to be putting oak exterior. With 4doors. Please show your thoughts or any plans.

You really don't need any 2x4 material. 3/4" oak plywood is more than up for the task. Oak 3/4" x 2 1/4" hardwood for the Face frame, all glued and screwed, and you'll be plenty strong enough. Seal it up, and finish, easy as that. J
