Has anyone thought of using laminate beams. Like trus board.

Or laminating 4 inch strips of 3/4 inch furnature grade ply.

Ive used laminat beams in construction. Very impressive stuff. Some are rated stronger than steel.

If done properly laminated wood can be just as strong maybe even stronger. I believe cabinet maker has built some stands for a few folks here but maybe not quite as big

Finished mine last week, holds two 125 gallons:









Very sturdy with the 2x6 lumber. Made sure every part was sealed with polyurethane.

Got the base of my stand done. just needs all the trim pieces on it now but i had to get the tank up and out of my van.

It only spans 49" for the bottom tank (55 or 75 gal) now but i would be confident in cutting the center out for another 6ft tank on the bottom. I wanted a cabinet section to hide the equipment which will soon have doors.
