Hello guys i need some advice from someone with experience building aquarium stand.... , i had this stand custom build the person who build it say it would be strong enough to hold my 65 gallon tank but most of the diy stand online have 2 2x4 and not one like mine [emoji848] what do you guys think i need to reinforce it ??

Plenty strong enough. Just make sure it is level, side panels appear higher in the front.
Paint inside with an oil based high gloss white for easier views & moisture prevention.
Paint the top also.
If you are enclosing the front it will have to be vented in the rear, LARGE opening.

Yeah we working on get the stand level today also for the paint we going to do that; interior gloss white and stain the outside , also i would be doing some opening on the back for the return and overflow and 1 maybe two ac computer fan for ventilation... thanks for the input [emoji1688]

Plenty strong, I also suggest putting a dab of silicone over the screws to prevent them from corrosion.
