need help with 125g aquarium/tank stand

I have decided that my tank being taller than me for no real reason is just absurd. The stand literally stands 52" tall. I was wondering if I cannot find a 125 gallon stand tomorrow could I just two 36" stands side by side? Both stands would obviously be the same height, width, etc.

 

I am also considering building a stand, does anyone know of a website that will design something like this for free or a small nominal fee? If any of you like to do this sort of thing and know more about it than I do, the dimensions are (for the stand not the tank) 76" long X 20" wide x 36 to 40" tall. The tank is a 125 gallon, so what I dont know is what size boards (4x4, 6x6?) will support this weight. A run down of wood sizes and general design tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Basically I want to know if a my design will hold my tank, six 4x4 legs at 30", and then 2x4s along the top and bottom if that makes sense, connecting the legs.

 

I am going to get home depot to cut all the wood and prolly spend some time there talking to somene about how to construct this beast.

 

How would that work, I am assuming your talking about a work horse.

 

O ok well Im going to go wonder aroungd in home depot and see if I can find them.

Also here is a website that will design a stand for you for free.

I have decided to deal with the height of the stand, my wallet and I had a discussion on the way to home depot and he convinced me to buy a step ladder.

 

Im going use that money to set up a shelf system under the tank, there about four feet of wasted space.

 

To rememdy that get a stand that is 52" tall and 400 lbs, then invite your short friends over and tease the hell outta them!!
