Ok, I'm lost. I made my stand out off 3/4 plywood and 4/5 x 3 and 2 x 3. All are in structure to the tank., the 3/4 ply is the cabinet, the 4/5 selected pine, and the 2x3 is the second class, don't know if that makes sense, but do i have to worry about the bending thing. PM me, don't know how to post pics. Oh 90g.

If you use pressure treated wood it warps when it drys. The last thing you want is your tank sitting on a stand that moves cause your tank will move with it which will cause a leak. All wood shrinks and swells. You want to use wood that is the most stable

use doug fir for the frame with pl400 construction addhesive and screws at all joints than you can build the outer case that you look at out of plywood and stain our paint it to your likeing
