hey guys!
so i found a nice deal today for a rimless tank with the following dimensions 18"HX16X16. Now according to the MFK calculator im looking at a 20gish tank. I currently have a stand that i keep my 10g but it's not the one that came with it it's just some stand i found a ta shop going under that sold it to me for $5. The top of the stand is 22"LX11" wide. So if I were to put the tank on this stand id have 2.5" sticking out evenly on 2 sides. I could get a plank of wood cut to use as a support to cover the extra inches, but my concern is that is this stand capable of handling the weight to begin with? The girl said it was good for 10-20g when i bought it but i i have no idea how its going to work with this weirdo tank.
Any thoughts? Worst case ill go get a new stand but I'm trying to see if there's a faster solution cuz I'm excited and want it ready now lol
