Does my tank have enough support?

Hi everyone, new here!

I set up this 40gal breeder a little over a week ago and although what I am using as a stand is very sturdy, I’m beginning to worry not having support on the front and back edges might cause an issue. Thoughts?

I would be worried. The glass will most likely start warping and the really important seals will most likely start going before too long. The edges always need support.

Shoot, okay. Would placing a piece of wood under the tank the exact dimensions of the tank help? Or should I look for a new solution all together?

3/4 inch plywood will work. Treat it with waterproofing/ paint first.
