I would not do that, I would support your tank better. I doubt it would fall/break, but it might leak.

I guess it's one way to get you carpet cleaned in the near future
 I'm surprised it's made it long enough for pictures!

You are one brave person. You should try to lower the water line by 2-3 inches to reduce the weight if you're keeping it on that stand.
Are we starting the bet yet? heheheh |

It might hold, but man why chance it? That just looks scary, and 55 gal of water on the floor would suck
