ok, that sounds good. i could do that. but i really want the edges of the tank to have something blocking it. so maybe i'd make the stand a bit wider so i could frame the plywood with 2x4s? i don't want my tank to just sit on top of plywood. i want it to sit inside a frame.

edges
Funny i thought the same about having an edge....
when a 50 gal is full it weighs over 400 lbs... it aint gonna slip off..!!! i don't put lips or edges on my stands anymore unless i'm trying to hide the plastic tank moulding..

i want the edge because i hate the black base of the tank showing. plus yes i do want to cover the styrafoam and plywood from sight.
i'm not so much concerned about the tank falling. it's gotta weigh a couple hundred pounds anyway, i just don't want stuff showing that'll make it look uglier. lol
