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.

I have finally been able to hang my Aqua Illumination lights (had to convince my wife that it would look nice and get my father in law over to help). I used the AI hanging kit.
