Access panel above my as tank needs a little support. I pulled it up and to no surprise, it need more support boards. The few that it has have started to rot. Question.. is it a bi deal if I use pressure treated wood? I know it wont last as long, but if I check on it in a few years, whats the big deal? It would be better than it is now. It was good to now the tank was a new custom 2007 aluminum 54 gallon

PT board and aluminum do NOT go together. It is a HUGE no no to put pressure treated boards around aluminum due to the chemicals used to pressure treat boards.

If your going to ck it from time to time just use regular 2x4. Other wise I would use some of that plastic board they sell, will last forever!
