Sorry to bring up the past.. but can you give me some sort of advice on building a 120 gallon stand? It will house my 65 gallon tank, 40 gallon sump and then at some point will probably be upgraded to a 120.This stand design is waaaaay over-built. With a four foot tank, all 2x4's could have been used (without center support) and you would have been just fine. I would remove the metal brackets you've installed...not sure what they are doing. However, with saltwater and time, they'll just rust.
Skinning this stand is important to keep it from racking....and the 3/4 ply does this with overkill....so you're fine.
Again, no center brace is required...ever if it were 2x4's.
