stand

Well, if you look at the bottom of your tank, you will see that all of the weight is distributed along the perimeter. The glass sheet that composes the bottom of the tank cannot support the weight of the tank when full, so that's the reason why they are designed that way.
There's nothing wrong with having a completely solid sheet of wood as the top of the stand, but it's unnecessary from a structure standpoint. It doesn't make the stand stronger.

If anyone lives near Atlanta, there is a 120 Gallon Marineland aquarium trimmed in black with glass tops and lights. Black cabinet stand included with 4 shelves and double door under aquarium storage for $175 on ebay p/u only. I'd grab it, but, my hubby says OMG we have no room for that. I can't make him understand that yu can always make room..hee hee hee
Happy Happy, I just got a brand new 75 G with lights (stock), lids (stock), 250 w Stealth heater, and stand (oak laminate..not great, but ok) and a aquaclear 300 for $165.00 I'll have to upgrade things like the filter and lights (eventually), but $165!! And my hubby said it was ok..I think he feels sorry for me still recovering from my tonsilectomy...but I am not gonna argue. His moment of weakness is my gain...hee hee hee. I did have to agree to break down the 20...but that can't happen right away anyhow ;-)
