>1. Make a box with many drainage pipes and fill it with paver sand and level the stock tank on that.
I like this idea. I'd probably modify it a bit: make a box with 2x8 boards, with an interior diameter two inches larger than your tank. Maybe reinforce with 2x4s to help prevent spread from pressure. Fill with sand, level, place tank. Seems the easiest to do labor-wise, hardest to kill tank because the sand will compress to relieve stresses. Just my 2¢.

I'll probably draw up plans for it some time soon. I will need to figure out a way to control the bottom of the box from sagging into an uneven location of sand. Or I can use some left over pond liner I have lying around to make a flexible bottom for the box so that the sand will be contained but still will be in contact with the ground.

Yes.

The previous owner of my house extended the concrete patio with masonry. They did a shitty job and it warped to hell. I built an aquaponics system earlier this year with a 150g stock tank elevated ~36" off the brick. I built a wood stand so robust that it could hold my jeep. I then placed cinder blocks under the stand and shimmed up until it was level. The entire stand is holding the 150g stock tank, two 5g filters, various plumbing, spare parts, and a 40g breeder tank.

If you're using the Rubbermaid stock tank, it can take warping without a problem *IF* you completely disassemble the plug/drain, clean and silicone seal where it touches the tank and then teflon the threaded insert.

yes it's a rubbermaid stock tank. I'll be keeping some big goldfish I've had for the past 12 years in it. I'm mainly worried about it leaking while I'm at work.

I will try this method if my paver sand method does not work. I think yours is the method I've seen the most online.
