So i understand the basics of DIY stand design using 2x4. My question is, does the rim or exterior of the stand need to match the display tank or can you make it bigger?
example : i have a 60 breeder with 48.5 x 18.5 as footprint. can i make the stand a solid 50x20 and put a nice hardwood plywood sheet on top? thus enabling me to fit a 40b under and not worry about the stand ever sagging due to no middle set of vertical braces.
