Can a 75 gallon go on a 55 gallon

[Macenzi]

I'm upgrading to a 75 gallon but just trading out the tanks, I know it will stick out but will it be okay? And it'll be up against a wall.
Also I didn't know where to put this so yea

Are you asking about putting it on a stand or on a tank?

I would have a stand that fits the tank size. Wouldn't wanna risk it springing a leak water damage is no fun!!!

The most pressure in a tank is on 4 the corners.
if you put it on a normal 50 gal stand, you will need to support the corners that aren't supported by the stand with something.

 

[ehh]

Don't do it.

Those cheap (made not price) pine stands from the store are engineered to hold the weight of a 55gal not a 75gal. Water weighs roughly 8.34lbs per gallon...so your basically going 166.8lbs over the designed load that the stand was built to hold. Not good

You also want to support a tank around the perimeter or sides. You can build a stand for next to nothing with some 2x4's. My 2.5c
