I think it could hold an army tank
I built stand around the sump . My last builds did not have enough room in sump area. Not this one. My pics are a little behind. I’ll update soon

Beautiful! Looks solid. And you have side door access! Great job!
You tube is your friend. Plenty of videos. Probably the best was king of diy.
Build on flat even ground
Precise cuts
Harbor freight tools work, levels etc
Pre plan layout ( size, height)
Straight lumber
Wholesale cabinet skin was expensive. Plywood stained would have close to same results
If using a sump filter at bottom of stand -plan stand accordingly. Outside and inside dimensions if using sump. Build stand taller , wider and longer then glass tank.
Trim work critical to finish stand to look good and hides cut flaws
