Will this FALL?break? 55g on a 30gMETAL stand

[big E]

Wo !!! I didn't think anyone would try this! I look at it this way, why take the chance? It's worth the money to buy proper stands!

And I was worried about using a 55 Gal wrought Iron Stand for a 55 on top and a 38 on the Bottom............

Thanks, It's nice to see someone crazier than me!

i commend you for having big ass balls for trying it! but bad idea.

Get a sheet of plywood between that stand and tank!!...STAT!
I'm thinking the stand will hold, just not the glass bottom with a stand in the middle of it.....

I take it down either 2morrow or sunday when i go to homedepot to buy some wood to make a stand. lolz thanks for the comments

will this fall???? LOL just wondering i already put it up but shiz if you guys think it might break (in the near future) or just dangerous... Let me know... 55gallon tank, on a 30gallon metal stand...

Vibrations are not the only issue, a bump & this thing shifts, the corner of that stand will go through the bottom as it falls.

Forget the plywood, that wont get the support to the corners, not enough to matter anyway.

Keep a video camera on this so you can post the fireworks.
