I was at a LFS yesterday, getting pricing for a 50g tank. The owner gave me the price of the tank, then started to give me the price of the stand. I told him I was going to build my own stand. His response was, "hold it right there. Don't build your own stand. The tank manufacturer won't gaurentee the tank against stress cracks if it's not on one of their stands.".

I this just I line he's giving me, trying to sell me a stand? I thought about all the people on this forum who have built their own stand. Is this something I should worry about? If the stand is level and stable, it should be fine right?
