FreedingFrenzy Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but... I've got a 150L tank that I've been trying to find a stand for everywhere, I finally found one that it would fit on o.k. BUT - the depth of the stand is an inch shorter than the tank - it's a basic metal stand and I was thinking of building up wood around it to make it look better. But anyway, would the overhanging by an inch be okay? or not really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 it may be ok on top of a sheet of polystyrene and hanging over 1/2 an inch front and back (if its a commercially made tank rather than plain glass this may not work as some sit on a plastic rim right around the bottom) just remeber the tank will weigh 150kg(water)+ weight of empty tank+ whatevea u put in it like gravel fish rocks plants etc - weight of water displaced by these objects so u have to look at and say "is this going to be safe if it weighs 200kg?"

Yeah, I was planning on doing that. Also what I meant by covering the stand with wood was this: http://westerncichlids.com.au/9ft-amazo ... rium-stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
