tanks are designed to have no suport in the middle but not for the ends, it is probably fairly critical that all edges are suported. a quick fix would be to double up a couple chunks of plywood and put it on top of the cabnet to make up for the shortcommings, this should be ridgid enuf to suport the tank properly.
