hi RocketEngineer, i did nt mean what i said as Constructive criticism , just a thought to possibly add along with what you have said/done already. i just thought to use the 4x4's to support the load. I myself would use the 4x4 posts, with 1 or 2 more along the back and possibly 1 along the front. your right, maybe someone out there doesnt own the right tools to notch out a 4x4 post, or to even cut a 4x4 post for that matter.i would even double brace both top and bottom to make sure that once i put the tank on top of my stand, thats where i want it to stay.
the more people add to your design, the better off someone might be down the road once they build their stand
