What about the bottom? Clearly you put something under the cabinet, to lift it couple more inches off the ground.

@schtals It is just another piece of plywood.

@SpearWieldingOctopus If the aquarium got over 75 or so gallons I would probly double up the plywood to create 1.5" walls, but that is probly an overkill. Keep in mind that Wood glue is stronger than the wood itself if there is enough surface area from proper adhesion. The biscuits allow for this. Use quality 3/4" OAK HARDWOOD plywood and it will hold anything you put on it.

@ProjectAquarium Thanks for replying:) But to hold up a big aquarium? But for how long? Sorry I'm in a little disbelief over how easy this looks... Is this similar to ADA's stand construction too? this is blowing my mind!
