But for what it's worth, it's not the vertical support I was referring to, but rather the load on the horizontal

And BTW, my flimsy stand does have center uprights
The tank is warrantied for life on their stand so it suits me fine and is why I bought it instead of building one

Keep those pics comin'
Yup i know it has centre uprights, but that's not to sustain the tank, its resting on a middle thin plywood glued to the front and back of the tank
I took mine out over a year ago and never even glued the top plywood back.

There is one thing I could have done better and that's to make the top out of 2x6 however is not entirely needed.

The reason why I made my own stand is to have it overbuild and without a center brace; now of I had a fishroom like yours, I would not care
