I have this rimless aquarium. the unit was made to support the weight but the dimensions slight overhang the front and back. i know many rimless manufacturers produce them with overhangs to sit flush with the doors etc. this was a custom built tank and my manufacturer has assured me it is fine so do you think i am okay to leave it?

Personally for me, I don't trust any edges not supported. Salt water is heave and exerts a lot of force, especially on the corners. I would personally order or build a custom stand that fits the tank

This does not concern me however you can place the tank on Plywood cut the same dimensions of the tank for pure seating and stability

Wouldnt stress that, the fulcrum point is so close to that edge. Id only want to correct that because of my OCD and thats it.
