I don't know for sure, but I for one would not put a 14" tank on a 12" stand.
I think it would be too much stress

I would not do it. It does not take to much to crack glass. All the strength is on the edge. If you dont care to much about looks you could put a peice of 1" plywood under the tank.

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
