Again, I'm not a structural engineer, so use these plans at your own risk. Also, measure the length and width of your aquarium's plastic base and add 0.5" to both the length and the width of the stand to get accurate measurements, don't rely on the exact measurements provided in sketch-up file. When i say not to drill into end grain, i mean for the legs, the part that's holding the weight of the tank.
