Its probably best to have all corners resting, it just helps distribute the load of water better through the tank. It probably also depends on the size of the tank, a smaller one could do it (like up to 20g), but anything bigger might be a little sketchy. A gallon of water weighs a little over 8 lbs. so you can figure out how much weight you are looking at pretty easily.

im sketchy to have any aquarium hang of the side unless it just has like a gecko and no water Rolling Eyes
