Can I suggest something? The horizontal beams is not strong if u mount it this way. Is better if it is sited onto the vertical beam.

Bro, I think your stand supports not so ideal..

Refer here.. http://www.garf.org/stand.html

The horizontal pieces supposed to "wrap" the verticals..

From your construction, seems like the horizontals doesn't provide supports to vertical wood..

Especially the bottom, where the verticals are resting on the horizontals.

Tank can get quite heavy with water.. Take note..
