    Pickin' up the tank tomorrow.

    I'm working on some stand/canopy ideas and have a question about support. It's a glass-bottom tank... is it okay to have a little overhang over the stand, as seen in the attached thumbnail? Pretend the picture is from the bottom up, as if you stuck your head under the tank in the stand. This would result from me placing the tank on a stand of 2x4's and surrounding it by cabinets that match my kitchen cabinets (rustic maple cabinets made by Kent Moore). The 2" overhang would be where the tank sits on unsupported molding at the top... sort of like this:
