Need help finding new stand for 240 Gallon aquarium

I am having a 240 gallon acrylic aquarium built, and I am hoping to acquire a modern, aesthetically pleasing stand to go with my decor. Ideally, I would like a very high gloss white cabinet with euro-style cabinet doors. Something that might match this aesthetic:

Here is an example of an aquarium (though too expensive):

I think that going to a kitchen installer might be the best option, but I also want a cabinet that will hold up in an earthquake, and with about 3000 lbs, I am concerned that a typical kitchen cabinet would break down.

Does anyone have any leads on cabinet builders that can provide this design aesthetic at a reasonable price while being extra sturdy? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hard to find premade stands in that finish. Sounds like a custom cabinet for sure. Does the person building the tank offer stands also?

Might contact Cory (Aquarium Co-Op), he had a custom tank and stand made for his shop and probably has a good lead for you.
