stand suggestions?

[nomadnumber29]

Hi guys,
Looking to build a stand that will hold a 150 gal. custom tank. Obviously, I'm concerned about the weight and having something strong enough to hold it.

Does anyone have any DIY plans that they could share? I am just looking for ideas that I can use to build my own.
Thanks.

Jaeden what did you use to waterproof the bottom of your stand?

not done yet but had to move out of my old 125 I think there's pics of that stand in there also.

It's an epoxy waterproofing membrane , marine stores may have it but you might have to go to a specialist store Coastal Supply is the one near me good luck.
