What to use as a stand/frame 8ftby2ftby2ft

Cinder blocks & 2x4 wood. I use them for my 55G & my 130G tanks. They work great, you can paint them & customize the hieght easily. It's also very cheap. Only cost me $11 for my 130G stand.
4ft only needs cinder blocks on the ends.
6ft needs ends and in the middle.
8ft would need ends and 2 middle ones.
Evenly spaced of course

Ground floor, so concrete? Concrete should be fine. But regular floors would be able to hold up to 75g or so with out too much worry.
I believe cinder/concrete blocks are sold in any country, so you should be able to find them in a large hardware store. I would say that if you stack the blocks, ei want to make it taller, you should put a full length wood board between all blocks, not just a 2x4. That way they all put pressure on the board and hold it more steady.
