I got a acrylic stand for a 180 from a friend for free it came out of a pet store that has sold its name to a other LFS and the stand was $2000 dollars so i was happy to take it. But im not sure if it will hold my 120 on it. My 120 is 4x2x2 and the stand is 6x2 it fits but man i dont know. Have any of you ever seen a acrylic stand? It holds me and my girl friend ok but my 120 is about 1800 lbs or more.

Its really nice and i may have to take the risk lol this could be great or a big mistake. What do you think?

My little brother has an acrylic stand for his 200+ gallon tank. It has really thick acrylic beams for support. The base of his tank is about 6'x2' and so is his acrylic stand, but you mentioned that your tank is smaller than your stand, so I don't see why not.

Yes I saw one 6 months ago at the lfs. You can calculate its capacity by doing a simple structural analysis
