Just build a stand man, lazy lol. But if you still want to go that way, support the 4 corners and front and back centers.

Either of the above pictures would work. Just as long as you support the four corners and center with cinderblocks, and then run plywood under the whole length of the tank, you will be fine. You can make a stand for larger tanks quickly and cheaply this way.
