Stand oppinions for my new 185g tank

[4everwet]

My new tank is 60x30x25. Should I build the stand with 2x4's or 2x6.

Those are the exact dimensions i am looking at as well. Going to follow this. I would think 2x4's would be Ok but IMO and just for peace of mind i would use 2x6's at least on the four corners anyway.

LOL

Check out my build thread for my 180. Click on the little red house.

I looked at a lot of stand builds and this seemed like the best.
Wanted to make sure that the screws were not holding up the tank so it's designed so the top is supported by lateral wood all the way to the floor. Eliminates the sheer forces on the screws.
