Does this look safe?

I'm in the middle of upgrading tank sizes, and I'm noticing that even though this stand is tested and rated for this size tank it appears to be untrue.

I don't have my fish in this yet and plan to wait a while before I move them. I have no problem replacing the stand.


Also sorry if in the wrong area

Is it a metal stand

Yes it is.

What size tank and a full shot of the stand and tank might be helpful.

Don't sweat a small gap. You can always use a ship to fill any small gaps. Looks like the tank is glass. A glass tank really on needs major support on the corners.

I would put a piece of foam board between the stand and the tank, the tank will rest more evenly on the stand.

It is a glass tank, also what type of foam should I use?

It is a 20 gallon tall. I'll get a shot of the stand after work. It is some cheap Walmart stand I was debating replacing anyways

I just used the pink foam board from Home Depot. insulation board, but it did the trick and keeps the tank level.

Pink board with added benefit of adding insulation and reducing heating costs. Might want to consider adding it to the back while you're at it.

Use foam. It's just a 20g so nothing will probably happen. If it were a larger tank like a 6' 125, that will cause the front to break and leak.

I have a piece of foam there now, I appreciate the suggestions. Going to talk to someone I know about building a custom stand so I get exactly what I want
