Aquarium support - okay or disaster?

[Slick Fork]

Depends where the supports are, is the stand wood or steel? How thick is the countertop?

The stand is wood and the top is about 5/8". I was considering adding a 3/4" top over the existing one to provide added support. Would this work?

I don't see why not, a 3/4" overlay is probably overkill but better safe than sorry. Just ensure that the tank is sitting directly over some of the supports underneath the countertop and you should be ok!

Thanks!! If I go this route the tank would definitely be over 3 of the supports under the countertop. Sometimes I think planning a new setup is more stressful than setting it up an taking care of it.
