I personally would use 1/4 poly foam or even a bit of yoga mat on all 4 corners it’s how I install all my tanks especially if 40 breeder or smaller.

Nice build and great job for your first project. A couple things I might add is the broken bits are usually from not holding drill straight in and straight out. Also using a countersink bit can allow you to hide the screws relatively easy. Also a deck of cards are a great way to perfectly level a stand. Also when using the water based poly applying a couple coats and then sanding with 220 paper until hazy and smooth then reapplying another coat will lend a nice smooth coat. Also warping down with a rack cloth after sanding will avoid those little dimples you were getting in the finish. Here’s a stand I built very similar to yours.

Thank you. Now that I have the equipment I can keep an eye out for other large 150,200,300 gallon boxes of glass. Lol and I’m fortunate my girlfriend seems to e joy them as long at the room has a livable atmosphere.

Those are awesome, very clean look. I’m jealous of your Val I seem to struggle with the stuff.

I agree with Isaac that it’s not necessary, I’m not an engineer, but lots of real world building experience.

I agree that you would be fine to leave the outer support boards off. Like ererer said most stands are way over built. What size tank are you planning on top of this? Here’s and example of a triple 20 rack I built out of cedar

Had a mishap with the 180 gallon tank. The center glass brace decided to let loose so instead of trying glue it back in place my father and I welded up a stainless brace that will support the tank from the outside instead.
