55 gallon tank stand

[kllsoul]

So I’m starting a new tank which is much larger then any I remember my dad doing. He is no longer here to help so I turn to you guys! I bought a tank and stand used. The tank needs to be sealed properly, they used it for reptiles and while cleaning it, there are a few leaks. I’m pretty sure I’ve got that covered. What I’m unsure of is this stand. Im not confident it will hold the weight, and I’m unsure if I’m just being paranoid. Could anyone help? If it doesn’t look good enough, could I sure it up or just get a new one?

Well, 55 gallons is very close to 440 pounds. (Not counting the tank it’s self, decor, sand/gravel, etc.)

Does it look like the stand was hand made? Or does it look like it came from a pet store?

So 600 roughly. It does not look handmade. I can’t say it looks like it came from a pet store either, but when I look at other stands online from the stores they look similar. Most don’t have close up inside pics though.
My dad built our last stand so it has like 3 4x2’s at each corner, and the build your own models online show the same. But the store stands don’t have that. That’s where I’m confused I guess.

Does it have a brand name on it?

If you walk around (or get your family, wife, friends, etc.) on it. (Around 4 people, adults)

If it starts to wobble/break, it probably will be OK.

(Note: don’t break it trying to get 4 people on it, lol.)
