Penn Plax Aquarium Tank Stand - Good?

[Pyramid_Party]

Hi,


Anyone here have experience with Penn Plax Aquarium 55 Gallon stands? It says its made with iron. But I wonder if its really sturdy. What stands would you recommend if not this one? I want a really good solid sturdy one for my 55 gallon. Thanks

I would go with an Aqueon or Marineland pine stand for a tank like that.

some metal stands (eg. those made with tube steel) are very strong and sturdy (more than the wooden ones from the LFS) but ones made with the angle iron, I would be more leary of..

Thanks 12 Volt man. Im just looking for something that will do the job for the long haul. I just dont like stands made out of particle board.


I'll check out those stands.
