Questions - Need some input

Hey all. Looking for some good blogs and news items for my news readers. Anyone want to share their favorite RSS feeds?

Also, anyone on Twitter? Seems the only people I can find are just businesses that rarely want to talk about trends and opinions, and advertise.

Thanks!

Anyone in the Middle Tennessee area? Looking for some clubs / social networking in the area. MTRC (http://www.mtrc.org) seems to be dead.

I'm getting more and more involved with my aquatics hobby. I used to have a 55g FOLR tank, but now am working on 250g reef. The more people in the area, the better. Plus, it would be nice to do some frag swapping.

Really, the closest thing I have to a club is Aquatic Critters (http://www.aquaticcritter.com), which is just my LFS. ...

Looking at building a wood stand for a design I have. It's 8'L x 2'W x 3'T. My question.... can my tank stand design handle 3000 lbs? water + canopy There will be 3/4" plywood on both the top and bottom that the design doesn't show.

The corners and side legs are doubled-up 2/4's. I thought it would be easier than notching 4x4's.
