Thats a great way of looking at it.

If you look at my tank thread you can actually see where I cut out my center brace.

The tank is holding strong so far.

If it's anything like my marineland sedona stand, the center piece isn't load bearing, but more decorative for the doors to close against.

Hey Cathy,

if u need a hand i can help u out, i built my only stand out of 6 8ft 2x4 and 2 sheets of 3/4 plywood. stand weighs about 200lb and can hold a truck. i've never like the stands brought at the store. just seams weak. i have no brace in the middle. reinforcing it will be easy, just need glue and couple pieces of 2x4.

let me know.

so ive resiliconed it and filled it up, now im just waiting..... if i dont see and leaks in an hour im putting some salt in and starting the pump i really hope it works because with the hob on it my house smells like fish

If it does start leaking again we have some Orca glue at the store, you wont have to drain it out again to use it...
