I've seen a few pics online of it being used  .curious if anyone used this stand and had any issues or if they had to mod it in anyway.

I had my Evo followed by my IM 20 on a Kallax 2X8 for over a year, zero issue. Just make sure you have hall the screws properly tightened.

Great thanks for the info.

If you are using the 2x2 version, It's best to have the shelf in this orientation so that the downward pressure is better supported as shown with the red circle

Same, I had a 20g on a kallax 2x2 for a year or 2. You should follow mipster advice :

However, keep in mind that kallax are not waterproof. In case of "accidentel flooding", they will absorb water and swell.

Very good point, I actually had a waterproof layer under my tank because of this and was very careful during water changes not to drip.
