Started with a 55 gal and a 30 gal . Just upgraded to a 125 with a Fluval MX-6. Have about 35 Kenyi babies of all sizes and 15 yellow lab babies in my 30 gallon . Grew my first batch of Kenyi babies and added them to the 125 with no troubles . Just wanted to know if anyone has any advice to help me in the future Thanks .

Yea I converted my heavy heavy duty solid maple 55 gallon stand to hold my 125 . I used 1 inch thick solid boards on top of it with some metal bracing you cant see . Seems to be hold up great no sags or anything . 30 just on a end table for now lol . No trolling like I said I'm new too chiclids . Here's a pic of my bow front acrylic 90 I've had for couple years too

I could park my car on this stand .like I said I'm pretty sure the guy I got it from kidnapped a Amish family and had them build this thing . If you all have any advice for me that be great . If you know this stand I going to suddenly just collapse on me then maybe I should get a stand too . I pay 400 new for this tank and 350 for the filter alone . It has these 2 sump looking things on the back wall . I was told there setting up a sump type filter behind the tank . I just dont fill the water high enough to pour in them . I probably should plug the 4 holes tho just in case those black plastic walls ever leak water . That could be a mess .
 
All I can tell from here is it looks scary in the photos.

But camera angle is a big deal. Photos are not real life.

Is that the edge of the stand's top, seen through the drain holes?
What's the blue thing?
 
Its flat as can be I check it with a level weekly . I'm more wondering about the inside of my tank . If that's a good home for the fish . Looks more like a 100 family apartment complex lol . If the breeds I have are going to be find with each other when they get larger . I have about 25 chiclids 2 plecos , and 2 African cat fish in there also all from same lake . So I'm guessing they'll be fine . I have a couple of breeding pairs and I'm get lots of babies .
