I would rip 1" ply 3" wide and build a frame out of it with at least one (preferably 2) cross supports and a 1" solid ply top with rigid foam on that, probably a little overkill but you want a well supported flat platform for acrylic tanks (looking at over 400lbs each full of water) I prefer the use of ply myself as it is more dimensionally stable (less apt to warp) than conventional lumber. Good luck and have fun!

No offense Mrfish, but that confused the hell out of me. If I were to build the frame that I have mentioned and put 3/4" plywood over top would that work? Maybe even add some foam?
