Then our Emerald crab was terrorizing our gsp so.... I glued it where they couldn't get it.

The rest are what the tank looks like right now and some frags that went recently bought from WWC and another site I can't remember at this time.

Are the horizontal boards supporting you tank edges correctly?

Um..... When building a house you can have a overhang that, I believe, could be max 24" over. So I went 1.25" inside so that I could put the trim on. There is a 3/4" sheet of plywood on top of the stand that the tank it resting on.

Did I do something wrong???

This isn't a house. A 210-gallon aquarium, when filled with water, gravel and accessories, weighs over 2,400 pounds. Would I have my supports on the edges of my aquarium...yes. I wouldn't have it hanging away from the support edges for only a 3/4" plywood to support that weight. Just my opinion

I know what you mean. That is why I didn't want to go more than that (1.25"). Maybe I should have doubled the 3/4". I'm already itching to build another one for space underneath. I may have to do it now lol.

Thanks for bringing up that question.
