Do i need to reinforce it?

[troutking]

So i have my fish room and it was kinda built quickly and crudely. So my question is.....is this structure strong enough to support a 110 gallon comfortably? I have some pics to help

the 1st pic is of the underside part of the stand thats against the wall. There is the wall and then a 2x4 is screwed onto it by the support beams and the side of the plywood is placed on it.

The 2nd pic is of the other side of the stand and on the end u can see it has 2 2x4s on it and one 2x4 in between the 2 ends.

The 3rd pic is of the opposite end of the one in the 2nd pic.

The 4th pic is of the end in the previous picture.

I can't really tell with ur photo. But the worst grade of 2x4 can withstand 600psi of compression. And a decent grade around 1000psi. If that helps at all

does this help....the wood that is cover in "X"s are part of another stand in my room and its not in going to be supporting the 110 gallon

Looks like it would work. Does it wiggle at all if u try and shake it? If not younshould be good. How supported is the center?

the center is just supported by that single 2x4 u see to the right side....well the tank is on it right now and i tried like jumping/sitting but theres only like 3 inches to do that and from what i could tell there was any shaking

Should be good I built the stand for my 100 in a wall and it looked similar to that. Works just fine
