IMHO your better SAFE THAN SORRY, you can ghetto a stand CHEAP and STRONG for FAR LESS than im sure you paid for Cheap Wafer board at wal mart. But it will require some work and effort to build.IMHO take the wal mart stand Back and use the Money to buy the wood and BUILD your own Stand! and yes My Stand Cost me less that 50.00 to make here is the breakdown.
18-2x4's cut to 24 inches(.75 each untreated pine) 13.50
4-2x6s for the top cut to 63 inches (also Untreated pine 5.00 each) 20.00
3 packs of 50 3 inch screws 3 bucks each 12.00
12- 6 inch long hex head screws 3.00
Total Cost = 48.50
Will hold about 5000lbs Compared to your Wal mart Stand that "looks Pretty" for 120.00 and has a max weight of 500 or so lbs. And the weight is says IS NOT A GUESS that is the weight that it held without Falling down any more weight can and more than likely WILL CRUSH THE STAND!!! IMHO its not worth the risk (Look at the cost of Livestock for your tank DO YOU REALLY WANT TO RISK IT? Just my 2cents.
