I have a quick question about stand compatibility. I am purchasing a water box 215 stand from a local reefer and hoping to use it for an sca 150. Any reason this would not work? I plan on potentially putting a sheet of plywood on top.
sca tank is :24x60 150 gallon
Water box is :60.5"L x 26.8"W x 23.6"H
148 gallons
Thanks!!

Thanks guys, I may be overthinking this one. My thought was that the load would be more centered length-wise and not directly on top of supports due to that 2.8'' of play. although with a piece of plywood I'm hoping it will be distributed back out more evenly.

Also, I may have to push the tank towards the back of the stand to allow over flow plumbing to get past?

If I were you personally I would add a brace on the inside across the front of the stand with 2x4s if your going to have it sitting a few inches back from the edge.

I guess I’ll center it and modify plumbing. The stand is aluminum
