Water is approximately 10 lbs per gallon so 90 gallons of water will be about 900 lbs, if that's any interest to you....

Any welding process, if done properly will be adequate to hold your stand together. I personally use MIG, it's fast and relatively easy. Just make sure you're confident in what you're doing before you put 900 lbs of water on top of it.

Good luck and have fun
