I don't see room for a drawer over the sump, but perhaps a tiny one on the left might fit. You need a sheet of foam on top of the stand for the tank to sit on. Link: http://insulation.owenscorning.com/h...s/propink.aspx
I need to put 1/2-3/4 ply as well thanks for the link!
Are you telling me that you filled up that tank with no support board under it? So the bottom was bowing downward as well??!! That will definitely be part of the deflection you saw. Holy crap, you were lucky you didn't blow out that tank with your water test.
Actually Marc a lot of the acrylic stands I looked at for my tank did not support the whole bottom of the tank. Just the edges.
All acrylic tanks should be fully supported with plywood and foam. I've seen a few floaters before, and it is scary. And only a matter of time.
That tank doesnt look like it was make for a aquarium
