I’m currently cycling a IM Fusion 40L. Love the tank but not a fan of how shallow it is. Dug around and found that the Waterbox AIO 50.3 has the exact same footprint as the 40L but 4.7” taller and approximately 9ish gallons more. Just wondering if the APS stand would be able to handle the extra 100-120lbs of weight.

Any input would be gracefully accepted.

I would think so, they're one of the more overbuilt OEM stands you can get.

After owning a Waterbox particle board stand, it would make me feel better about the stability of my setup if I had something like the APS stand holding it up.

I agree the aluminum stand is much better than particle board and I really really like it. That’s the main reason I’m inquiring, I definitely want to keep it. I appreciate the response.

I forgot to mention that I had a IM 30 EXT with an APS stand. If the tank dimensions fit, I'd roll with it. I think the only thing that would be better would be a custom marine plywood or solid wood stand or a custom aluminum profile stand, which the APS is already pretty close to.
