Thoughts? Suggestions? Things I’ve overlooked? I have yet to add the inner support legs to every leg but before I get that far. 10ft x 3ft x 30in acrylic tank going on this. Followed someone on YouTube’s build for same sized tank. I will be skinning the tank for extra stability but so far this thing is a rock.

How much weight do you suspect it can hold, and what is the weight you will be putting on it?
Perfect. You going to stain it? Waterproof it?
Looks good to me but I am no structural engineer but most diy I have seen have additional support on them. They add extra 2 x 4 in the corners and mid legs. They usually go from the floor to the top.
That should be adequate for a 20 gallon.
I hope you have a really good finish to use on it! I’m partial to spar varnish personally
Your stand is rock solid in vertical and horizontal motion. This is already better than most store-bought stands.
However, the only resistance to rotation (racking) is the strength of the screws you have. A board fastened across the top will add a lot of support to prevent racking.
