That’s beautiful! Is it set up yet? Would love to see a photo of it all together with the tank running.I'm a wood fan for stands primarily because it's easier to mount to after construction. Any of these materials can be protected to last. My last tank stand I used 3/4 oak. This stand can hold twice the weight it carries and this design maximizes the space beneath.
I worked with my LFS on my current tank and they recommended wood. They have powder coated steel stands in their shop that are 3 years old that are already rusting and one stand has an issue with the feet failing. If you do go the steel route make sure to request at least 8 feet. All of the force of tank water and stand rest upon the feet. That's a lot of force for 4-6 points.
Last year at RAP orlando there was a vendor selling 80 20 for stands. While it's more expensive, it has so much potential. I like how it can be easily modified after construction.
Well it sounds like whatever you decide CAN be as NICE, STRONG, & LASTING as you choose to make it, I was leaning towards power coated steel then @jt17 reminded us all of the natural beauty of Wood and FINE furniture
I think I am more conflicted than you..Good Luck on the build!
