The 125G tank that I picked up came with a stand. Now that I'm about to put it all together, I saw something that seems odd to me. The stand is constructed so that the full weight of the tank is supported on both ends and in the middle. There are no supports that run the length of the tank. Should I be worried?
When I first inspected the tank before buying it, it was filled with water and substrate (no fish), and everything seemed to be in order. I have to assume that this stand has been used, and secure, because the previous owner says it was.
I know that you are supposed to let the bottom glass bow, but should the frame be supported along the full length, or is this an "industry standard" practice?
Thanks!
