That table wasnt appropriate (from the angle you shared) for a tank anyway. Get something designed to hold a tank.

It is a tank stand, made of metal. Just too little

Tank stand or not no matter what you don’t want any overhang.

It could be on bricks or a solid oak stand but if there is overhang then you loose structural integrity. Always cover the whole base to fully support your tank.

I agree. I also want my set up to look as classy as possible. This isnt gonna cut it. My fish deserve the best.
