I gotta tell you, when I first saw the Oceanic stand we bought for our 180 I thought "E-GAD! This thing is made out of balsa wood! And where are all of the vertical supports?!? There is NO WAY this could hold up a tank!" I'll be darned though, it holds it just fine. Of course, I saw this after I made the stand for my 125, which has about 12 4x4's and countless 2x4's!
