I'm setting up a new IM 20 gallon. My current stand is a repurposed piece of furniture, however the stand is not square- the front of the stand is curved/ routed. As such, if I line up the tank optimally, the tank would overhang the back of the stand by 3/8".
I would like to utilize this particular piece of furniture, so my current plan would be to add 3/4" plywood to the top so the plywood distributes the weight of the 3/8" overhang. The tank is only 20 gallons, so there's not much weight and the tank is rimless, so in theory the weight should be evenly distributed, but I wanted to double check I wasn't missing something or if there was a better way to do this. I can always sister a piece of wood to the back of the stand if that would be preferable/needed.
