So I got this nice glass aquarium 225 gallon for a steal with a sump, skimmer, and stand. It was dirty but nothing some elbow grease couldn't fix to make it new again.
My BIG question though is how is this stand made to support all the weight from 225 gallons? The 2 crossbeams line up with those on the bottom of the tank, but they also sit about 1/2" -3/4" higher than the inner wood lip on the side of stand. Is it really only those 2 beams supporting all that weight or?
Thanks!
