Im going to be building my wood stand. I am confident with my construction abilities. But I am unsure what size wood to use. The tank is 90x26x30. Is 2x8 enough for the 90" braces?

2x6 is strong enough? Thanks for the help. How do you determine that?
My intention was to not have a center brace. Not if its not possible then I have to live with it
Google images search "DIY aquarium stand plans"The center support is the safest option. It will just make removing my sump a big pain. But I'd rather have that small problem. Thank you for the help. @Robin Haselden is that an engineering program you have?
I would use something like this... 2x6 for the red and yellow boards and 2x4 for the rest. You can probably get away with one vertical center brace.
