It should be fine.
Was built in a closet. So disassembly would take some time.Is the 4th leg level with the other 3, at least? If so, you could just add a shim where the gap is located. If not, can you disassemble that leg and rebuild it, or is it stuck where it is because of how everything else was built around it?
Took the top frame out and opened the corner to somewhat work around the twisted leg.Any way of pulling it together with a clamp and screwing it tight?
A bottle jack pushing between L and r leg might work.. Depending on how/where R leg is. Adding wood/shims between wall and r leg to make a solid pushing surface..Took the top frame out and opened the corner to somewhat work around the twisted leg.
Can't do it with a clamp cause I'd like a good tight bar clamp.
Bought multiple brackets and more lumber to support the upper half lot better. Will post a mock up or something when I can.
Let's not advocate using a drywall screw for anything but drywall. Way to brittle for a stand or any real woodworking. Better off with a regular wood screw or better yet a Spax.
I've pulled twists w just using drywall screws but it all depends n how tight the twist is..
Bottom frame will support 4x10g, top will have 20g solo with some objects here and there.I might be concerned if you were building for a 200 gal tank, but 2x4's are WAY overkill for 20g. As long as the aquarium is level that stand will support it no problem.
