Hi, I am finally taking the plunge and converting my 125 gal from freshwater to saltwater. My current stand is from Petco or Petsmart (don't remember), anyway it has a partition in the middle so it does not for me, and I need to build a new one. After doing some research, it seems that the majority of us is for using 2x4 and then dress the stand. Looking at mine it is made of crappy particle board of maybe 1 inch if I am lucky and so it seems that 2x4 might be completely overkill. Would it be possible to build a stand with plywood only for a tank that size? and if so how? It seems to me that it would be easier to get a straight stand cutting plywood rather than trying to work with 2x4 from Home Depot that are not straight and with plywood I feel like I would get much more space inside.
tank is 72x18x22 and I am looking at a 40" high stand.
Any inputs/photo/plans ideas are welcome.
Thanks
