Wood thickness for a 70 Gallon Tank (100x45x60) cm

[enb141]

Hi, I'm looking for a custom furniture for my future reef tank, so I talked with one carpenter that build home furniture to build a custom furniture for my tank, the dimensions are 100 cm long x 45 cm deep x 60 cm height so he said that the furniture wood thickness would be 3/4 inches so I would like to know if that's thick enough to resist the weight the tank.

It would help if we knew what size tank. But typically if it's built like a stand is supposed to be, and not held together like furniture, it should be fine.

My 80G stand is all 3/4 and 1" plywood.

70 gallon tank? 3/4 is plenty strong enough.

My 80G stand is all 3/4 and 1" plywood.

The tank size is 100 cm (L) x 45 cm (D) x 60 cm (H)

39.37 inches (L) x 17.72 inches (D) x 23.62 inches (H)

What do you means when you say held together like furniture?

70 gallon tank? 3/4 is plenty strong enough.

No matter what kind of wood? Real wood of course

The carpenter said he was going to use pine

I also forgot to mention the furniture measurements
100 cm (L) x 45 cm (D) x 100 cm (H)
