Aquarium stand repair question

[metalslug]

My tank had a small leak that I just noticed. It made one corner buckle a bit from water damage because it was compressed wood. Can I, cut a board from plywood, the same dimensions as the top of the stand, and rest the tank on that? I think since the tank wont no longer be sitting on the stand top, but the new board it should hold fine. Any opinions?

PS

At this time I cannot afford a new stand. Leak was fixed also.

yeah should work as a temp fix..

2x4s are like $3 at homedepot

so you would go with 2x4 re-enforcement, and not a whole solid piece of ply?

If the stand is still level and not warped it should be fine. Just add the plywood sheet. Also make sure there is no rot to the structural support.

yeah it just really happened, no rot. It will dry well once i put the ply, thanks .
