Very aware of that but my step dad keeps putting the build off and i am done waiting. Had this tank sitting in a box for almost 3 weeks and i cannot wait any more. Is this stand going to be worth it? If i put a board for support will it help?DuaneV said:We have a couple of those and I like them. HOWEVER, you can make one WAY nicer with cabinets and shelves underneath for a lot cheaper.
Hey david, with added support will it be more then fine? Read some of the reviews and one of them scared me. They said dont buy it unless you want a broken tank with dead fish on the ground. Which is mainly why i am concerned.david1978 said:Since its engineered for an aquarium it should be fine without added support. The design is preference. The wooden stand that came with my oceonic tank isnt how i would of built it but its been good so far.
Like i said before my step dad keeps putting off the build and i am tired of waiting. I am very aware it would cost cheaper. I would build one by myself but that still in the works and probably won't happen.DuaneV said:A 2x4, a saw, some glue, screws and paint & you can make the stand youre looking at for like $10-$15 bucks.
But like I said, we have 2 of those stands and theyre fine. Its just a lot of money I think. But Im a big DIY kinda guy.
I hope you are right because that one review scared me pretty bad. I am scared the tank is gonna fall through. Even though it did not happen to him i am still pretty spooked.DuaneV said:No need for extra support (and nowhere to put it in unless you have a grinder & welder as its tube stock). If you put it together like the directions say you wont have a problem.
That is not really my concern. My concern is if i can trust this thing to support my expensive tank.TexasGuppy said:I couldn't use an open stand. Where would I put all my fish stuff?
