340 Gallon Acrylic against wall w/ window build

Hello all,

I started this in the DIY section, but I was advised this may be a better spot to have this post.

I purchased a 72x30x36 acrylic aquarium which I'm working on building a stand for.

Currently the aquarium is on top of my stand on my patio. My patio isn't perfectly level for water run off. But the stand I built is level. So I put the tank on the stand, and filled it with water slowly to test out the stand. Overall the stand has held up perfectly fine over night. What I don't like is if I stand in front/behind the tank and shake it the stand seems to shake. I'm attaching pictures to try to show how I built the stand and you can see the video below of the stand swaying. Its not falling over, but I don't like the sway.

Is there anything I can stiffen up more to eliminate this side to side sway?
