I have read many posts and think this is the route I'd like to go. I just purchased an acrylic 180 (72"x24"x24") and am curious which aluminum would be the most economical to build my stand. I see the t-slot comes in several sizes as do others I'm sure. I'm thinking tank, rocks, and water will likely be in the 1600 pound range. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially regarding the size/specs of the aluminum I should use. If there is a thread that already covers this, please try and direct me there, as I've read everything I could find. Thank you.
