Question: Is it safe to mount an aquarium (20 gallons, long) so tha
sts on rails along the long sides, but not the short sides? From
eyeballing it it looks this should be safe, but a word or two of authority
would be reassuring.



If you want to have piece of mind, then no it's not safe, you're increasing
your chance of a leak (there's a reason why there are four sides that
usually get supported). If you don't mind a sudden leak down the road, then
chances are it will work for some time, how long, no one knows.
