i had like 7 aquariums 40gal to 225 gal systems. This built is going to be my ultimate build.So far the tank is 84"long 24"height 35"wide. it has its own frag tang 47"long 20"height 24"wide. The 2 aquarium connected to same sump 63"long 20"height 20"wide.i think they both like appx 425 gal build.All made by thick glass.
Here are aquarium stands productions.They all made by wood no reinforced steel used.
