Default Issues...

Okay, thanks to Lostmind i'm a little stuck.

I've got a 36" yet I designed the stand for a 48" (55 gal).

The inside of the frame is 13" in width. The reason was so that my 12-1/2" sump could fit inside. Using the 2x4 (really 1.5x3.5) to construct the stand that makes the top surface 16" in width (hopefully that makes sense.

Perfect for me to fit a 55g tank on, as they are 48x13".

Well now Lostmind jumps in, and says I should go for a 90g tank (48x18).

ARGGG, had I knew in the beginning, I could of made it 2 inches wider.

Sooooooo. what do I do? I don't want to take the frame apart. Its already all screwed together, and sealed, and I was "about" to take it over to the next shop to get all the outside put on.

I was thinking about adding a 4x4 on the back ledge, and just screwing it onto the frame (I know pictures would help to show the structral integrity, hopefully I'll get some soon).

Any other options? The reason I mentinoed the back edge, is because that way, the front is still flat, for doors, etc etc. I dunnoooooo.
