Notching will hold more weight than simply screwing them together. 40
Gallons of water is 320 pounds. Notching and lag bolts should be
fine.

Wouldn't lag bolts and some bracing, without notching, be at least as strong
and a lot easier?

While I'm not sure what you mean by "buckled", looking at the picture
suggests that it might have settled with some spreading, some twisting
and some leaning. Is that the case?
That structure seems to have all its strength focused at the cross
point, and depends for its strength upon mechanical f
Having just seen your picture of the actual stand, I think you need to
put a little more twist resistance into the lower half, because
nothing is bracing the legs below the 'X'. No stringers there, so
maybe just a diagonal brace from end to end attached directly to the
legs. Your horizontal plate

think the main problem with the small horizontal brace, the one that
separated is the 1 1/2 difference in flatness with the X pieces not
being notched. The one end is screwed flat a
