The overhang isnt ideal, but the bracing is what supports a glass tank so it may work. I would be more concerned with the weight. A 20g glass tank is going to weigh around 200lbs once its full of water and has gravel.
that could be a little risky ...... 20long should handle the weight of not being supported... but... that stand doesnt look very stable ... and there is always the off chance that tank WONT support the weight of the overhang... I would look for a more stable platform...you can probably get something from goodwill for$ 20 .. or less
I'd be weary of a table like that. THe overhang shouldn't cause any issue, but that table doesn't look to sturdy. Keep in mind even after it's filled it's still going to get shaken and such when doing maintenance, and that may be the downfall of that setup.
The one thing to consider about the overhang is that since the bracing is supporting the whole weight of the tank, you are losing about 1/3 of the the footprint for support. Immediately that wont be a large issue but overtime that will stress the seals on the sides of the tank. Not saying it will create a leak for sure, but over time the risk gets higher. If youre confident the table can suppor the weight then it will probably work, but I wouldnt feel confident about that as a long term solution personally
I piece of wood between the tank and table to fully support the bottom would give me a lot more piece of mind.
