Why can't I do this with my stand?

Those "feet" are metal & plastic. The plastic will probably snap off if someone bumps a large tank. I wouldn't trust it on a large tank. A small setup, no problem.

But then again, I prefer to over-engineer a stand than to go with something I will worry about.

Look at it this way, even if this works on a normal basis, what happens in an earthquake when you will have tremendous amounts of sideways pressure that may cause these "feet" to shear.
