Im not trying to dismantle your work but i think you might want to beef up that stand alittle. Water alone for a 300 gallon tank weighs 8.33 lbs per gallon times your 300 equals 2499lbs. More than a ton. The 1x6's will bow very quickly as you increase the amount of water in the tank. If its just the skirt around some other stand thats fine but if you plan on putting nothing butted up to the columns there gonna give. I really dont want to critisize your work because your stand looks better than mine at the time i just dont want to see 300 gallons on the floor. Goodluck. Sorry if this makes you mad.
