Welcome to canreef! Looking forward to seeing some shots of the goods =) Don't hear of stands that size done mostly with plywood I'd love to see how you did that.

I will post some pics when I get home.I used a lot of 2x4 woodglue and screws to hold the stand together.The tank sits on a 1 inch sheet of foam board.The stand has been very solid so far and I used a sealer on the inside of the tank to water proof it.I plan to dress it up in the near future (I do things backwards).I used a good quality plywood ( russian birch) and I originally wanted to stain it but I prefer to use some kind of deco brick or rock,maybe even tile I will see.I have seen some nice stands that people have made.I was going to make a metal stand but my friends had mentioned wood will be better.
