I am building the frame for my stand. It's for a 75 gallon that is 48.5" x 18.5" x 21 1/8". I cut all the wood peices so the stand would measure 49" x 19" x 35" tall. Most aquarium stands I found seemed a bit short at 30" so I added 5" which makes it the same height as my countertops. But now I am second guessing myself and worried it might be too top heavy. I think I will be ok but wanted to get some opinions. I am also putting a 20 gallon sump and some sort of top off system inside as well.
Here are the plans I am using for the frame.
