Have a 2x3 wood table and I plan on putting a 20g aquarium on it, is it likely to break under the weight?

Unless you absolutely know it'll hold that weight ... you may want to go with stand in this case. Can you post any pics? If so can you do close ups of the legs? Maybe someone here has a similar table that can better comment.
