Will this tank be okay on this stand?

[marillion]

Red Sea Max Pro XL G2 on a BucePlant 60C stand. The tank doesn't hit the edges width-wise but it does depth-wise. The top of the stand is a solid piece and the stand is rated for a tank 20+ gallons more in weight. Just asking here before I fill it and test the system and begin my build. Thanks in advance.

Probably… but how much do you value your floor? I don’t think anyone can give you an answer tbh. It may last forever. Or a year. Or less or more. The pressure is obviously going to be on the lateral. Sooner or later that will bow as it’s its not getting the support from the uprights. Could be 6mths or 10 years. Could be fine. Could be bad .

To me, it looks fine. It more so depends on the pressure you are putting on the floor

Sit on it. How I test suspect furniture but only with tanks where full volume weight won't exceed my weight. Could have another sit on it with you. Not very scientific, I know.

If you aren’t sure, reinforce it.

How is that wood to any type of spill also? Does it swell ? Or even general moisture.

Buceplant stuff is usually pretty solid. I’d trust it. Looks solid. If you’re worried screw some supports under the top to brace the bottom where the sides of the tank would be under.

If I had a 4"x4" cut where I could brace the center point on both the left and right edge inside the stand, you think that would be enough?

Sure wouldn’t hurt! That should add significantly more support.
