So I am building a work bench (32x80) which I will enclose and insulate. It's going in my basement and it will house a 75 gallon sump for my main display. It will also provide me with a space for working and storage of all thing aquarium. The 75g will be on the top. The bottom will be a large shelf for the carx, chiller, ato container, and spare parts. The top will all be insulated with 4 inch polyiso as the basement is dirt and drafty. I will have a large door to open to access the sump/ working area.
My question is will my design hold the weight of a 75g full.
It will be made of 2x4s and the joints will be pocket screws. The legs will be attached with either 1/4 20 bolts or 4 3"#8 screws.
The top and shelf will be covered in 1/2 pine plywood and sealed.
