It is over built, so yes will hold the tank without problem.

Check that the cross member do in interfere with the required clearance of the drilled holes in the bottom of the tank.

Is the supporting weight only on the corners of the stand? I checked the corners are all level, but only the middle of the supporting frame from front to back is out by 1/16" coz of the warped 2x4" do you guys think it's ok for resting tank?

Will it be easy to replace the horizontals cross members for something without the dip?

If not, you can always shim the plywood top to be straight. Go to your local HD and pick up some laminate counter top samples and use them as shims.

Good luck!

I don't think 1/16 is anything to worry about. You are going to put down some of that pink styrofoam under your tank right? That should even things out.
And if it is a problem after you try with fresh water, then when you drain it out u can use that shim as mentioned.

I'll be also putting pink Styrofoam, Maybe I'll try to remove the front and back member to a more level one, if that dont work I guess I will try the sample laminated wood to shim it, thanks for the feedback, I don't know what happened when I assembled it I make sure it's all level left to right back to front, now it's warped. :-/
