Recently we had to downgrade from a 60 gallon aquarium to a 30 gallon one. We are using the 60 gallon stand though, which is an open box frame like a rectangle. The 60 gallon covered all 4 sides of the rectangle and so it felt like it was really good support.

Now we have the 30 gallon on it, and it doesn't reach the 2 side supports. So it's resting on the front and back support by about 2" on each. Essentially it's supported by two parallel 2" supports.

I'm worried because I feel like it needs support on all 4 sides to be fully supported, but my husband feels like the two parallel supports for front/back is fine.

Does anybody have any experience with fish stands to say yes/no whether it will be stable? we have it set up and so far it's been fine.
