The guy I got it from originally had a 2x6 box that raised it up. In hindsight, I'm wondering if that was to accommodate an off level stand. Hmmmmm. Never thought about it till now.

What if I were to band it at the top to studs? It'd be covered by the lid at that point. That's a relief honestly. Like I said, been that way a while with no change or showing any deflection in the floor itself.I really don't think you need to worry about it. The only thing that would disturb me it is if they got back there and physically pull the tank forward.

Correct. The bottom does not have full coverage. However there is a beam that runs center on it underneath and about 2" circumference sits on stand. Think it's still a potential issue?

I'll look to address that issue as well then if go the breakdown route. I've had the tank for over a year and original owner had it for a number of years (unsure of term) on same stand. Will I potentially have an issue with rounding on the bottom already and would it be advisable to put a piece of foam between the tank and new surface?
Mines acrylic so it'll flex a little more. Issue resolved though. New 80 gallon low profile reef tank to come int Tuesday and begin replacing. It finally got the best of me worrying and seeing a smal section of seams that have shown seperation on top. Time to replace and relocate it.We had a 55 gal tank that had the exact same situation. One day I was watching TV and heard a pop. The front of the tank blew out. We had stinky water, rock, and fish flowing down the stairs that were next to the tank. An unlevel tank is dangerous.
