new stand for 55

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'd find an aquarium stand before messing with that. I don't see a decent stand being too expensive for a 55, especially if you're going to spend $130, then hopefully improve it so it doesn't fail. You'll end up with a funny looking stand with less storage space for filters, and everything associated with your tank. Find a nice one with doors on it.

Agreed. Like I said you could probably make it work, but a stand for a 55 wont be too expensive.
 
Looking at it again, it looks like it may tip over easier too, you really don't want that, that's dangerous especially if there are young kids around.
 
tip over? at 15inches? hmmm, I thought that was deep enough... Perhaps a proper stand is in order
 
The Ikea table is not any better looking than a home made 2x4 stand.... which would be a lot stronger
 
yeah, I'm an idiot. I've always made my own stands (see attached stand for my turtle) and somehow got it in my head that stands were super expensive. I'm just gonna buy a real stand!

That's actually nice looking for a home made stand. In all honesty it looks as nice as the generic pine stands that are common at the pet stores. If you were closer I'd give you my 75 stand I bought, its less than a year old.
