Hi, sorry if this is wrong forum. If so mods please move to where it belongs

So I have a stand that's been made by planet aquariums. The stand is 36 1/2" x 24 1/2". I was looking at putting the innovative marine 50g Ext model aquarium on this stand, but was curious if it would hold the tank and be 100% fine. For those no familiar with the innovative marine 50g ext, the dimensions are 30 x 24.

A little info on the stand. Stand is all plywood. 1/2" thick.. on the back of the stand there is 2 supports that are about 6" wide, That attach to the sides of the stand. There is 1 support centered in the front of the stand that is roughly 4" wide.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks

The entire perimeter of the tank should be supported underneath the 1/2” plywood with vertical supports. Especially the 24” ends. They carry more weight per inch than the longer sides. Otherwise you invite sagging and possible damage to the tank.
