im building a stand for my 36 bowfront tank dimensions are 30lx15w20h approx 400lbs with water and rock in it thinking im going to build a stand thats 44lx22wx28h with 2x4s not sure what i should wrap it in and use for on top of the stand as the tank isnt going to rest on the structure of the surrounding 2x4s thinking 1/2 plywood but dont know if thats thick enough for the top trying to cut down on weight of it but was also thinking 3/4 is more like what i should be using and im planning on wrapping it with 1/4 in plywood also im going to be putting a 20 or 30 gallon sump under it currently only have a 10 gallon and its too small for a sump refug dont know if i really need a 30 or not....would i need 1/2 plywood for the bottom shelf for the sump or do i have to go with 3/4 and yes i do plan on putting atleast 2 braces on top and bottom to support the plywood possibly even 3 braces if needed please give any advice u can and if my ideas will work
