I used to have a cheap cork type wood stand. It wasn’t made for a fish tank stand, and I was scared it might crack/break over time. I used to have my 40gallon tank on top, with a 20gallon and 10 gallon underneath(all cycling water). I now have the new stand, and only 2 tanks, the top 40gallon, and a 20gallon under. Also changed around some inhabitants. The stingray which used to be in this tank has been moved.

highqualityarticles.com Holding The World: Aquarium Stands When putting together an aquarium, most owners focus on what is inside the tank. The tank itself, regardless of size, will be filled with water, plants, fish and decorations. Rocks will line the bottom and lights and filtration systems will keep it operating smoothly and keep the ocean life happy. Chemicals will be added to balance the pH and to destroy any unhealthy bacteria or algae. However, the tank itself is the world. It contains the fragile ecosystem of the aquarium and protects it from the outside world. And the tank deserves the very best treatment, treatment possible only with the use of aquarium stands. On A Pedestal Aquarium stands play a vital role in the hobby of fish keeping. Stands are made from a variety of materials, contain different décor patterns and can be decorated to fit any atmosphere. However, the stands do more than help the owner create the perfect aquarium set-up. They protect the tank itself, and allow it to truly be appreciated. Many beginners put their tanks on the floor or on pre-existing tables. This interferes with viewing, but it also puts the aquarium at risk. Aquarium stands are often afterthoughts, as owners do not even think about this equipment while they are shopping for tanks and fish. They try to find a stand after the fact. However, if the tank and stand is purchased at the same time, not only is guaranteed to be the right size for the weight and dimensions of the tank

KEY LARGO, Fla. – Fifty years after it was designated the first underwater park in the United States, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park looks much like it did when it was founded: Tropical fish swim through the coral reef, and kayakers can still get lost in the maze of mangrove swamps.

Never buy a metal aquarium stand

The problem is that the metal stand I bought said it was for a 29 gallon aquarium and holds 275lbs. After doing the math (and setting everything up) I calculated that the weight of the tank itself, water, gravel, and everything else was around ~ 310 lbs.

I ended up buying this one for ( LESS than the metal one), taking everything out, transferring it to the new stand, and packing the metal stand up for return. All in all about 5 hours wasted.
