Hello!

So... I created this 3D model of a metal stand and would love to hear your expert views to guarantee I am on the right track.

1 - Is it solid enough to hold 400kg on top + around 200kg of sump and water deposit?
2 - Should it have 4 feet as seen on the model or should i increase it? (I need feet because the aquarium has 4 viewing sides, it will be in the middle of a room and thus ventilation will be done from underneath unless you have other suggestion)
3 - Would you change anything?

Thank you!

Material? Tensile strength probable not an issue. . If you were goin to add additional feet only do it on the two sides with the additional vertical post. What material are you using?

From your comment I undestand it might be overkill lol (newbie here cut me some slack ;P), would you simplify it in any way? @Jeffcb101
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
