i am chasing a set of plans for an aquarium cabinet/stand aquarium will be 72in long 24in wide 24in high i dont really need the cladding just the frame work and in particular the joints that i need to use for maximum strength i was planning on using 75x35 pine only because i can find a s%^tload of this on the building sites and you are not going to see it so no need to use dressed timber thanks in advance for your help.

No real problem, just frame it with your 75x35 and then clad it with plywood for the bracing. Building a tank stand with only 3x2s takes a bit of design thought, bracing and good joints.
Building with 3x2s and plywood cladding is practically bombproof :2tsup:

Cheers
