if you look on the garf website, this is all they recommend? no supports, just plwood and screws, overbuilding cant hurt though

The black = wooden supports.
Triangle braces in each corner two braces going across the tank.

Also, instead of using butt-joints to connect each corner, you should have used dowel reinforced butt-joints wich would be much stronger.

Dovetail joints would have been good aswell.
Pictures included of both joints.

Also, if you were using my method, this would be a pond... not a fishtank persay as you'd be viewing from the top....
