For those of you who have had the chance to build a stand from RedSea... Does it have a little wiggle to it with and without the tank on it? I bought a peninsula 650 and I built the stand without the back stationary walls (since it was going to be right next to the wall) in the direction on how to build the stand the photos show that the back doors are above the ground and are screwed on by two screws I just dont think three doors will do much for support since they are above the ground and are more for looks since its a peninsula.

Have never built one but looking at a construction video online it looks like you have some leveling legs to play with to keep it from wobbling?

Can’t imagine the doors doing anything at all if they open/close.

Mine doesn’t wiggle. But be careful putting it next to a wall as you do need to reach behind it to adjust the flow down to the sump.

Are there any vertical pieces where the doors attach? If there aren’t any maybe the addition of the door prevents twisting but if there’s any kind of support around where the door attaches I’m not sure how e door itself helps.

At least you figured it out.

I have built three and none had any wiggle. Is it maybe that it is not level/square???
I would not put any serious weight on a stand that had lateral play to it.
