I either want to build a Cabinet myself out of all Plywood, no 2 X’s or buy an all Plywood Cabinet, “without a Front Center Brace!” This is for a 48” X 24” X 24” Aquarium. Does anyone know of plans for an all Plywood Aquarium Cabinet? Any Manufacture that has a Cabinet like this. I’m leaning towards a SC Aquarium. Would like to by a cabinet from them, but their cabinets are MDF. BTW I have a bunch of cabinet grade 1” Plywood that I salvaged. Also a table saw, circular saw with a separate track attachment, lots of clamps, dowelling kit, and other wood working tools.

1" plywood will have no issues supporting a tank that size. Not sure you really need a plan, you can just build a box that is the correct dimension. If you go rimless, you will need a plywood top that sits on the side panels. Very simple to build and more than strong enough.

Plain ¾” plywood will support it without issue. The factory stand for my 120 was 5/8” particle board and it was surprisingly solid.
