i am planning a diy stand build for my SCA 100 gallon. Now the dimension are 48 by 20 so I am cutting 2x4 to accommodate those dimensions. 48 inches front and back and 17 inches for the sides. However I want to wrap the frame with 3/4 inch board but I do not want the extra 3/4 inch edge. So if I reduce the above mentioned measurements by 1 1/2 inches will the structural support still hold or will it compromise the stand? Being that the actual main support legs will be 3/4 inch shorter on each side so I can have the edges of stand line up with the actual tank.
