Looking to make a new stand for my aquarium I have 150 gallon tank I'd like the new stand to be 6 foot by 4 foot tall by 30 in wide what would be the best wood to use

That said, I’d build a frame out of 2x4s (vertical spans) and 2x6s (horizontal spans) and skin it with 3/4” plywood. It’ll be massively overbuilt, but I’d be able to sleep at night without having to worry.

Great question for the general forum for sure! I bet you'll get a bunch of solid answers and recommendations over on the DIY forum. Let's see if @mdbannister can slide it over there for you!
