Aluminum Stand Help
I need some help again I have had these stand made and I am about to fill will water but am getting a little nervous because I don't think the weight will hold or at least there will be a little too much deflection. I have tried using the cad and fea programs but those things are crazy hard to use for me at least. I had someone on here help me once but I thought the stand were 1/4 thick not 1/8. The stand is made of 2x2 T6061 aluminum square tube with a thickness of .125. I would just like some feedback. I could always add legs or braces. Attached are some photos dimension 72.5 Length X 24.5 W X 36 Height and holding a 210 gallon tank. The welder has been doing this for decades and I trust the welds. Just not sure about the integrity
