Does anyone use/have used Penn Plax stands for a 55g? I'm buying a new setup tomorrow and would like to buy a stand, and this is the only one I saw that I could afford. Should I be able to trust them?
Experience With Penn Plax 55g Stands
- Thread starter Stump
- Start date
I haven't used the stand but the company has been around forever and on that I'd say trust them. I've used a lot of their products over the years.
Reviews on Petco.com aren't the greatest. Lots of people said they weren't very sturdy... I just want to hear from actual fishkeepers.
Thanks for the input BTW.

Are those the metal ones? If so, I wouldn't say they aren't sturdy... only that the machining isn't perfect. Mine wobbles a little bit when there's no tank on it (I broke down that tank, it's holding boxes for the move now), but could handle a panzer strike.
OH! I had this same question exactly. The wooden ones are nicer but no way I have 200$+ for stands for my 2 55's 
My main question as well was it kinda looks like it is going to fall over.
I found "Titan Eze Metal Aquarium Double Stands"

as well at dr. foster's, but it's a little more expensive.
ANybody have experience with either of these?

I had an air filter by them that was alright, but there wasn't the risk of it falling over and the tank imploding >.<
I've decided I'm probably gonna go with the Dr. Foster's one because
A) Doesn't look so flimsy
B.) Not iron so won't rust
C.) Can hold a second 55g if needed
