Im sure it will be fine but incase something goes wrong i can tell the wife it was mfk's fault. Its in my storage room the floor is concrete but lined with that exercise foam matting through out.

Dont think the tank will be up for long. Just going to be used as a grow out for a few months

Slightly off level from left to right but i mean slightly like the bubble is inbetween the two lines on the level

neither of my tanks are perfectly level and they are both on stands lol one on carpet one on tile, no issues here. Ive though about just putting an extra tank I have on the ground but I haven't gotten around to doing anything with them
 
I have a few other smaller tanks on the same floor. Was thinking that if i set it on the floor the foam would put pressure on the bottom pane once the edges compression it.
 
tempered bottom glass tanks only need to be supported by the ends... i have 40's,65 and 55's glass sumps supported with stacked 2x4 like u have pictured and or 4x4's. honestly id remove the middle section u have there u dont need it
 
Put a piece of plywood that is larger than the tank base. It will reduce the psi of the tank onto the flooring, allowing for less compression and less of a chance of it to settle of kilter.
