My tank stand is broken

[Dloks]

guys relax i dont have blocks here in my country i know its bad but i need to make it work

It’s not going to work lmao

it might work but its not safe. That weight could kill if it fails at the wrong time. Early pics did not show the stand is ALL GLASS !!! very bad idea for a tank put a tv on it or a pot plant and build a strong stand or as said above sit the tank on the floor.

How does your country not have concrete blocks? I find that hard to believe personally.

The photos didnt come in for me earlier so I wasn't entirely clear on what was going on here....that said, I cant imagine the weight of a 65 gallon tank being held by an all glass stand.
Perhaps you can get some scrap wood and build a nice sturdy stand.

Or if anything find 2 wooden stumps that are about 2 feet in diameter and put a piece of plywood across them.

That would actually look pretty good if done right.....sand them down to make them level.

Perhaps that could be an idea for the next stand you need?

I certainly wouldnt be opposed to trying it.

I actually have a stump I got from my neighbor a while back. It's pretty big as you can see. Now THAT I would trust with a 65 gallon on it.

Imagine two of those finished up with a nice varnish or stain on them.
