I would at least call Tenecor and ask to shoot them a few pics of the stand and see what they think. In the end if something were to happen to the tank and they say the tank was not supported enough by the stand and don't honor the warranty, that would not be a good thing.

Michael I am not dissing you bro, just saying what i have encounted with my 750.

No offense taken more appreciated and especially cause you own the same one. I dont care what it looks like cause its all getting covered. I wanted the stand at least 36" high so assembling it inside from wood was the only way it would fit. I was gonna wing it from how it was prior and added what we did. I am going to double up the bottom all the way around and add a few more again. I cant add water for about 2 weeks which sucks big time but rather do it all right. At least its in the house on the stand which was a real son of a ---- so even if I need to tailer the stand more I'm just glad its in place. Now I have to get my rear deck redone from cutting it to get the tank in but it's all good cause now I get to build a half pipe at the end of it LOL
 
Speechless. That tank is gorgeous.

Stand looks perfectly fine to me.

People tend to underestimate the strength of wood. Those 2 by 4's should be plenty for that tank, especially with all the bracing.

Tank looks great too, filtration?

People do tend to underestimate the strength of wood. As long as it can't "shift" which I see that you put in triangles for that.
I built one for a smaller tank and the only thing I did different was put in a few metal X's made of metal. I got them at L#wes and put them on each end and the middle just for peace of mind. I can't tell from your pics but I used all screws, no nails. Covering it with wood also strengthens it. I can't wait to see it stocked.
