DIY Stand Question

So I'm planning a tank build and trying to figure something out with a DIY stand. Say I'm doing a 36x18 inch tank but I want the stand to be a little larger for a sump and just to have some extra elbow room. Can I build a frame with the dimensions of 44x22 inches out of 2x4s and then put 3/4th inch plywood for the top? Will this stand be ok since the tank won't be sitting on the 2x4s since the footprint of the stand is larger? Thanks for the help!

Add a few 2x4s going across from front to back and you'll be fine

 

You could also add another sheet of 3/4" plywood if you want to sleep better at night :)
