If you want too use as less wood as possible then id use the cut in technique. Because you putting 2 tank on each shelf a middle post will have too be added.

Check out this -
My design for a 3 teir stand (http://www.discusforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=327)

Because your doing two tanks per shelf add an extra post too the middle should be strong enough. I madea 3 teir 4fter like this and its solid as a rock. Thats 775 ltrs
