You can lag bolt it to the wall behind it as well. That's what I did with my last 40g. Basically, you get a toggle bolt kit (ez anchor) and set that up in the wall. Then drill a hole in the stand PERFECTLY aligned with the hole in the anchor.
That's the tough part, and much easier to do when the stand is empty as well as the tank. For a tank that size id use at least 3 anchors to the wall. Gonna need long screws and the right size washers too.
Then change the knobs on the front of the stand. Right now they are push attachment knobs. Pull those off and get quality knobs that screw/bolt in from the back and tighten them up well.
Then get the child-resistant ties they make for kitchen cabinets and zip the two knobs together tightly.
