Lay down something to spread out your weight so it isn't concentrated in just a few spots. The tank may hold nearly 1000 pounds when full, so it can take the weight- if distributed properly.

im 150lbs and stood in a 6' 150g with no bottom braces no probs, the tank even had a chip in the bottom.

BUT i cant condone you or your tanks safety by doing the same.

Lay down, or put a rigid sheet of material that will spread your weight out?
