Ok , please hold the laughter that for the 15th time I taken down a tank only to come back with another one. I get it and it’s not easy being me. So my question will this hold my tank ? I’m thinking yes compared to some of the stands I see these things coming with

The true “junky” of a hobbyist!
A: would you and yours stand together on the top, with confidence?
If so, I would add a 1” piece of plywood to distribute the weight more evenly
My concern is the lack of support in the middle
I wish you a gobble gobble of good luck
 
Possibly but my concern would be more the design of the stand seeing the drawers go all the way across. Is there a middle support in the back? Going up and down? There isn’t one in the front as There would normally be if you had 2 Columns of drawers verse the single.

You would probably wanna remove the drawers and ensure all the corner braces are well made. Personally I wouldn't risking using that do to the design. For a 65 gallon tank. A smaller tank wouldn't concern me as much.

Plus 1 definitely add plywood or a top layer for more support if you decide to try it
 
Welcome back! Let me know when u want to start adding coral and I'll frag you a bunch.

Got pictures inside the dresser? What's the dimensions of the dresser and dimensions of the tank? There'll be ways to reinforce it but may come at the cost of drawer functionality.
 
Ive had smaller tanks on it so I wasn't worried back then. This has an inch or so on both ends so I was thinking the ends wouldn't be an issue but yes this is more weight so I wanted to throw out the question. Thanks for the replys
