bought a used acrylic tank with stand. the stand has an opening in the middle. is this ok? i mean the previos owner has had it for a while like thatn im worried it might just burst in the bottom 1 day.
i can also see other people with acrylic tanks that has a smaller stand way smaller than the tank base dimension.

you'll sleep better knowing the tank will not burst because the stand fully supports the tanks bottom, how big is the tank?
unlike glass tanks, acrylic tanks need support throughout the bottom so it doesn't bow downwards.

i know man u hit it rightn i cant sleep well thinking bout it. but for like 10 years the previous owner had it that way. but im worried if i place it in a fully covered stand, what happens to the minor bowing in the bottom
