Hi! I am new to fishkeeping and I recently got a fluval flex 32.5. The measurements for the tank I think are somewhat unusual but I didnt want to buy the stand that goes with it because I have a stand for a 30 gallon tank that I felt would be okay. The new tank is about 1 inch longer so that the edges of the tank barely hang off of the top of the stand. I was wondering if I had a piece of 3/4in thick plywood cut and screwed it onto the existing stand to create a larger top, would that hold the sides of the tank? The weight load of the stand is 410lbs so I know that part will be okay bc I dont have a lot of rocks, just plants and spiderwood and a few small river rocks.. but can the top extend over the base? Thank you for any help!
