Well, it's done, with space for a couple additional tanks!
Special thanks to my dad, the architect, who told me what to do and helped me do it. He takes credit for the Dado cuts, now and forever known as Dad-o cuts in my house. Also, thanks to my mom, who entertained Isaac while we worked.
We started with 3 shelves on a 10'x6' frame, but figured we'd better try to fit one half of the frame down the stairs before we put the whole thing together. The end result...
OOPS! I may use brackets to reattach them at a later date so I can still have a top shelf for lightweight storage.
Thanks also to Josh at Batfish Aquatics who helped me move tanks off of my gorilla-rack shelving, securely install the new rack, and move the tanks back.
I really should've taken some "before" pictures. D'oh!
The end result...
