Hi everyone. I had made a pervious post but wants to make a new one with the update and to see if my tank is now safe.
I didn’t realise that my new tank would overhang my cabinet by 1 inch at the back. So with other people’s guidance today I purchased an 18mm wood board the same size as the tank (plus an inch at the back) to put underneath the tank. Pictures attached. Does it now look acceptable? My tank is 20gallons. Thankyou

I’d run it like that, that board should support the edge just fine.
