The vertical posts will bear some weight on the ends.

These connectors are rated to hold 1,124 lbs per set (2,248 lbs total per corner) so I am not worried at all. The tank will only be 2,500lb filled with water and that weight is distributed evenly. The connectors you see in that picture are also underneath the beam so its 8 connectors per corner.

You could drive a truck on this frame without any drama.
