I built a stand for my two new 75 gallon tanks. It's easy and scales to fit with simple changes. There's even a lip to keep the tank from sliding off in an earthquake.

What are the tanks for? Fish or tarantulas/inverts? Seems like a good idea, might try this when I have the chance(and if I can get some 75 gallons tanks)

Didn't watch the video but that looks like weak construction to me. The rails should sit on top of the posts. Attaching them to the side like that is about the worst way to build it. If you are going to fill with water especially. 8lbs per gallon = 1200lbs just in water. I would get a Kreg Jig and build a proper stand with pocket holes and Kreg screws (not drywall screws/deck screws) or use cement blocks.
