Hone, a piece that maybe covers the back, and in doing so will tie all together, should be good. The main thing is to make sure it is level

Holds up to 60 lbs. Replace it. Water without salt is 8lbs per gallon, or over 88lbs.

it is level, but the back, if it breaks, wouldn't it just fall forward?

I would not go budget with the very item which keeps your tank both stable and level.

Absolute cheapest would probably be cinderblocks, but that is pretty unappealing (to most people anyway). Could probably reinforce the stand to make it safe but I am not sure the exact cost and it would also depend on your ability to do the reinforcing yourself.

 

[>>klong<<]

Click ‘details’ and you’ll see that they say it will support 110lbs. How much does your tank and equipment weigh? Add water and salt weight. Chances are you’re pushing it.

I hope

if my tank falls at all, I do not know what I am going to do, firstly, my parents are probably gonna me mad, and secondly, all the money I spent goes to waste, and I also have no job so...

These are usually sturdy
You can always brace it for strength with 2x4”s

these as In the desk? or u forgot to add a link?

 

[stewy14]

could I also just put a thick block of wood that covers the whole top of the "stand"? so it evenly distributes the weight?
