We're actually testing the weight bearing capacity of the stand. We're now fairly certain is will hold a 40g tank.

40G tank huh ? ... lets see .. approximately 10 LB per Gallon X 40 = 400LB and you 2 are a slim what ? ... 180 each ? ... so lets say 360 combined ... so your testing aint done yet fellas ... however if you were slightly more than 180 each at oh < scratches head > 200 maybe ? then your testing is done

Stand looks great btw

Cheers

Let's just say, without any numbers, the tank will be more than fine on that stand!!

Sam, this is a frag tank. A small bed of sand and maybe a bit of rock under the trays. But ya, it still would have been fine full of rock!
