making a steel aquaruim stand
I'm looking at welding a two shelf aquaruim stand. with a 135 gal on top. A 45 gal and 10 gal on the lower shelf. The stand would be 3 ft tall. basically the footprint of the 135 gallon tank. It will weigh over 2000lbs. What kind of steel and thickness do I use. angle iron??? square tubing???
thanks, Eric

I use 1" square tubing .125 wall and 1x2" .125 tubing for the steel stands that I have built. The 1x2 is used to make an upper support frame, the bottom fram and uprights are the 1x1.
