Another structural stand question...

Hi, semi new/returning to the club and getting my feet wet again. I'm going to have either a 36lx36wx24d tank or a 48lx36wx24d tank built.

Since it's "cube" shaped and 36" front/back, would I need a center brace in either the front/back center or stand center? I've never owned a tank 36" deep so I'm not sure. Maybe the 2x4's from the 4 corners is enough?

Also! anyone know a good location for starboard?

Thanks!
 
a steel frame would probably be best and you would not need a center brace for that, especially if its the 2" squere tube steel pipes
