I asked this yesterday but for some reason I'm being told I need to put in a password to view that post; I have a new 36" tank but my stand is only 32" inches, can I use it? Can I use the tank if I mod the stand? suggestions? comments? concerns? Thanks

Go to a hardware store, and get a really thick piece of wood or wood composite, but not pressed wood, and have it cut to the size of the tank. Center it over the stand and you should be good to go.

You'll want all edges of the tank supported so wood sheets are in order. 2x8's in my country aren't sheets of wood. I think you may have misunderstood SYN.

Yes, one solid sheet, or several to cover the entire bottom, all four corners.

Oops, I'll fix that stupid password thingy.

2 2x8's side by side held together between 1/2" ply; sturdy and unified. Then I remove the stand's original top and replace it with the new slab of wood.
