The design will work, but is overkill.

I purchased a TV stand from a "naked furniture" place. I did modify this to
add 1x6 oak wings to support the intended 90 gallon tank.

The main frame is 3/4 oak plywood.

The tank top is two 1x6 oak boards mortised into 1x3 oak ends.

If you want a picture send me an email.

My stand has been supporting the 90 gallon load for over 3 years.

Pressure treated lumber is not needed. I just used normal polyurethane and
wipe up most spills.

Hi all. I haven't posted here in awhile. I was thinking of making a tank
stand for a 75 gallon fish tank, which will weigh well over 700 lbs. What
do you think of this design? Are there any major problems with what this
guy has done?
