I think both the tank and the stand is about 10+ years old. I got it from a cousin, and my cousin got the tank from someone else before handing it over to me, so it's been around in a little "circulation" if you will 
. Not sure about it's foundation and strength anymore. It looks pretty sturdy and not all that weak though. Any ideas what's up with the noises though? Is it just how wood is when it's old? Every now and then, "pop!" Should I be worried about this?? Afraid one day the tank will go bam, the stand cripples and the tank falls, hits the sump below and hopefully worst case scenario when it does fall, it does not decide to tip over face down after but lay tilted on it's back on the wall behind or something. Scary thoughts.. By the way guys, this tank is acrylic, so it's pretty light.. still heavy of course.. imagine if the tank is glass lol I'd even be more worried..
