I have a little 10g fusion tank I'm about to pick up and I need a stand. Would you trust this to support it?

Water is going to weigh about 90 lbs plus the weight of the stand and equipment. Looking at probably close to a 100lbs. I probably won't as it looks like the legs aren't straight up and down so it's not going to take the weight properly

I’ve got a 10g, and you’d be amazed how much it weighs once you’ve got water, sand and live rock in there- all this weight adds up quickly
In my opinion, it would go through the glass. I wouldn’t be taking the risk.

That's freaking fantastic. It's the "little money" that really crushes u. I got a nice little QT setup, tank, filter, stand. Then went to the hardware store to buy a few pvc elbows and such, and spent nearly as much.
