im going to add braces out of 2 x4 all around the top and bottom and side of tank , but everthing i do from now on its only using screws ,,, NOT GLUE , cause i have to take the supports off to cut out for glasif it works out , maybe a wasted step , but i wanted to know ,,, just how i roll ,,,, , and im putting them on to do a test befor i spend 500 bucks on glass , im going to water test first , i want to make sure the tank and stand can hold the weight , i decided to put plastic bag inside tank and wrapped the living room with plastic and put tempoy walls up around the tank , so if crash down all the water is on plastic which i have going out back sliding glass doors , this test took half day to get ready , good times ...... next pic is the test ? will hold or dd i just make a slip and slide in my house ?
