Aquarium stand strength

[Warrior]

Hi, this is my first question, I’m setting up a 90 gal reef with a40 gal sump. I bought a stand for it but it’s made with 1” square tubing, is this strong enough or should it be 1 1/2” tubing. I appreciate any advice, thanks.

Could you give some more details on the stand that you purchased? Maybe post a picture of the stand?

Was the stand manufactured for this tank or is this something you're cobbling together as a set?

Pictures will help, I'm trying to picture a stand with "tubing" but maybe we are misunderstanding?

Currently in the same boat for a 28 gallon lowboy, I want the tank stand to be 37x19x30, from what I could find online, 1in square tubing with 1/8 walls is what is recommended. No idea but tomorrow I'm going to the metal supermarket, I'll update with your question hopefully answered lol
