36 gallon bowfront stand question

[amazontank]

So i got a used 36 gallon bowfront with the factory wood stand for cheap.
After filling it I noticed its tilted a little to the right.
I added some pics my question are these stands built factory to not buckle into devastation because of a little rot?
Can i add a couple 2by4 pieces of wood?
Should I just throw out the stand and not chance it?
Thanks mfk for any advice!

Stand is near end of life, check local garage sales for a replacement

Agree Personally wouldn't use it.

Thanks guys very much I ended up changing it out and got a new setup a 46 gallon bowfront with a solid stand.
The old stand was not off level btw my floor is off level.

Should i just toss the stand in the garbage or can I possibly use the stand with a lighter 26 gallon bowfront?

Your call, personally just use the 26 gallon as a terrarium with something interesting to keep the weight down.

Good call, pipa pipa frog time.
I was thinking though that the weight of the 26 gallon wont be supported by the ends of the stand frame and weight will be in the middle.
I am thinking I might just trash this stand for peace of mind!

Cool, pipas are fun.

Personally, I weld. I made my 29 gallon stand from angle iron. You could drill and bolt one, but with a bowfront, you would need angled cuts and bent tabs. I see many nice wood stands but I prefer steel. Just my Opinion.
