Hello all,
I built an aquarium stand for a 125g out of 2x8 for upper framing and 2x4 for the rest of the frame. After I finished the stand and set the aquarium on it I noticed the stand was deeper than the aquarium by 2”. So I was wondering if I could just sister in another 2x8 on the back of the frame with carriage bolts? Would the be enough to support the aquarium without having to add more vertical supports to it. Or should I also sister in more vertical supports? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
