Most hardwoods are quite strong in compression. Even for a 75 gallon I
suspect 2x4s and 4x4s are overkill. I'd build with 4/4 making sure I had
at
least two internal vertical dividers for a tank that size. I used one
vertical divider for my 40 gallon.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying you would make a frame entirely
out of 4 by 4's, or would you do it the way the guy with the website did? I
don't think this is what you were intending to say.

thanks,
