First of all if you don't mind take a look at this thread that I posted in the general forum about repairing this tank:

Now on to this question.
I have 3, five gal tanks and 1 ten gal up in my room. They are fry tanks, betta tanks, whitecloud tanks, and random fish tanks. But they are scattered all over my room. Some in the closet. I want to construct a stand that can hold all of these tanks and leave room for more, kind of like a fish apartment builing, multi leveled, and maybe with a cupboard underneath for fish junk.
I have done a search and have found some helpfull things but nothing is what I am looking for. It has to be strong and I might want to upgrade to 10's and 20's getting rid of the fives, so room to grow would be nice too, and I am always finding cheap fives, so room for more fives would be great.
It has to look good, I just spent the last two years getting my room to look good, then I got interested in fish (dang) and stuff is looking bad again. Also I worry about my dog, if the thing ever collapsed he would probably have the luck to be underneath it at the time, so strength is very important.
I hope someone can help me. I have no idea what kind of wood to use. Or how to brace the bottoms of the shelves so they don't warp, and I might want to anchor it to a wall.
So if you can help me great, I don't know how this is going to work.
Thanks.
