hi ya---4x4 posts will not warp if the top rails and bottom rails are screwed to each end of the post
what might warp would be the longer pieces of the top and bottom rails, without any type of support
4x4 's need to be out in the hot sun in order for them to dry out, but remember, they will be inside, probably a sump will be running, and the moisture created by the sump will keep the 4x4 posts from drying out
i would much rather have 4x4 posts holding up my tank instead of 2x4 or 2x6's
again---my opinion, thats how i will build mine, and of course, everyone can build there own how the see fit, but its a good start RocketEngineer
thanks
steve
