I would like to build an aluminum extrusion stand my my acrylic tank. I would like the stand to be 48x22x32 , the tank measure 47.5x18x30 and the shape is a trapezoid. My question is would I need two additional vertical supports along the front and back face or would two horizontal supports on the top and bottom be sufficient
Thanks

I would have a support at each corner, plus an extra in the front and back.

You want the weight of the tank distributed across the entire bottom surface, which is usually the outside rim.

Okay thanks for the reply that's what I was leaning towards
