Will this stand hold?

I have a 29G Biocube Stand and was looking at getting a 34G Solana Rimless tank. The tank will fit on the stand based on the demensions I have read but want to see if you think it will hold the extra 5G of water.

Thanks.

i bought a particle board stand used for my 90 then saw the same stand new and it was rated for a 75 was on it for 4 years no issues before i went salt and built my own so 5 gallons difference id think you be ok if the stand is in good shape and not worn or swollen it its particle board

if its going on the same stand the foot print is probably the same so the sand would be the sameand if its not and the new tank just fits the stand better there wont be 40lbs of new sand

Lol good point. I should have waited till I woke up before posting a stupid question.

Would you do 20 or 40lbs of sand in a 34g cube that's 20X20X20?
