How big is your tank?

The cross-bracing is one of my concerns for room underneath. What you've done is pretty much the same thing I was thinking of, too. 2x4's would help create more head-room.

My tank is a 75g custom that measures 36"Lx24"Wx24"H and is frameless with an external overflow. The cross bracing I used isn't to help support the weight just to prevent any warping of the 2x4's and plywood. Years ago I had a standard 75g on a 2x4 stand as well without any issues with one vertical support in the middle of the long run.
