I have an aquarium stand that could hold two tanks, one above the other but I'm not sure i trust it to do so. I have a 20g long on top and i want to put another on bottom. The stand as far as i can tell is made of plywood/particle board and the two sides are about a half inch thick each, would running a 2x4 on each side and bolting them in add a decent amount of strength to it or would i need to do more?

Pics would help but usually reinforcement should be done from the inside. A couple shots of the stand, especially inside would help
 
Okay i will get a few and post them. unfortunately there really isn't an inside to this stand.

That link gave me an error message. If it is just a pressboard box id try to add vertical supports inside the stand on all 4 corners
