135g stand build help

There*was a gap between stand and tank so i added 3/4in ply ontop and shims between ply and stand


I left a lip along the back of the stand and will add a full 3/4in ply for back piece.*
(just an idea of what i mean)


2 supports in the back 1 in the front to alow me to pull sump if i have to. 42inch span at front.*


The front and sides i will skin after when i decide what to use.*


Missing front support in this pic still need to put that back in.


Ok so far ?

Pull the ply off the top, and fix whatever is keeping it from sitting true. Coarse sandpaper on a beltsander will work to take down high spots, especially if you're putting down ply anyway.

Overbuilt but looks good.
Agreed that it should be flat and level in itself

3/4 ply can warp. Just a thought in case 2x4 part is level and plumb
