edges
Funny i thought the same about having an edge....
when a 50 gal is full it weighs over 400 lbs... it aint gonna slip off..!!! i don't put lips or edges on my stands anymore unless i'm trying to hide the plastic tank moulding..

i want the edge because i hate the black base of the tank showing. plus yes i do want to cover the styrafoam and plywood from sight.
 i'm not so much concerned about the tank falling. it's gotta weigh a couple hundred pounds anyway, i just don't want stuff showing that'll make it look uglier. lol

lol normally i paint or sketch. i drew that last night in maybe 5 mins. i redrew it. give me a few mins to re-scan it and i'll post the new pic
ok i have the new one scanned. i saw some base boards at home depot or rona that are rounded. i could even use those so it gives a finished touch to it instead of 2x4s.

4x4's are generally more expensive then 2x4's so I'd stay away from them.
You can easily achieve the same results with 2x4's Heres an actual model of the frame on my tank to give you and idea to work with.  Oh and just in case you did'nt know 2x4's are actually 1.5 x 3.5.
