Hi folks,
I just bought a 40gal tank and it came with this wooden stand. The thing looks good but I'm unsure whether to trust it since the previous owner only used it for a lightweight terrarium but I plan on filling it up. Is this design common/typical and/or trustworthy? Or should I add some bracing along the center?
To clarify about the existing design since the pics aren't great: the tank has a plastic lip around the edge on the bottom and it rests upon the lip of the stand. I.e., if the tank were on a tabletop, it'd be resting on this outer lip and not on its glass bottom. Thanks in advance for your help and expertise!
