Well I need something to put my 20g L on and I found this bookcase in the basement. It measures 36 8/16 long and 12 4/16 wide. I sat on it and its sturdy. The outside of the tank measures 12 7/16. I understand on glass tanks all the weight is distributed on the edges. So It would put stress on the tank with it hanging over. What I want to do is put a 2x4 or a piece of plywood on the back to "extend" the width. Would this work? Its only a 3/16 difference. I have another question too, the wood frame part of my tank is broken. Is this going to be a problem? When I leak tested it for 24 hrs it was alright. Should I tape it? TIA.
