I have many aquariums  in different rooms.In my master bedroom we have a smaller aquarium 75 gallons .one of 2 Noticed on the aquarium near the window but not against it but the fish are definitely more colored even though I feed them the same in the same spawn.Algae can be a problem mid day so I usually close the blind facing the south around 2 o’clock also have plants in that window some really great photographs particularly of the Plaidy I’m assuming

Incredible pictures of your fish congratulations on getting back into the hobby some exceptional life plants !Good detail in your fish photographs was wondering did you use a micro Lens.

[Would this be wise to do?]

Sorry I didn’t see that table that you suggested if you could cross brace it from the inside that would help a lot and check the top board is it thick enough sometimes furniture looks really really sturdy and it’s not .Here’s a test I would do for three times the weight of your car I am counting the gravel on the water plus the tank and stand on the tank if you fall through just kidding probably not a good idea if it holds great I would absolutely use it myself afterJerry rigging it a little painting it black by the time We got done with that I wouldn’t recognize it Good luck don’t know when you posted this new to this channel

Not to be picky or cruel I find most of these tank  stands at Petco PetSmart Wobble after aquarium is put on top .I don’t think in my opinion  they are Pet or kids safe whatsoever .can’t imagine my golden retriever rushing around my living room playing,with that stand.You can build your own stand with minimal effort with two by fours if  cost is a problem don’t like the particleboard stands sold  in stores.Eventually get wet no matter how careful you are stuff happens.With a master carpenter in the  family in my alone with my sweet husband Talented hands no need for me to ever get stands in the store.So one who knows it’s not cheap to hire a carpenter and wood  is very expensive right now in Michigan and other places good luck you might want to check craigslist  etc.sometimes you can find it beautiful piece of Furniture, can easily be turned into a beautiful aquarium stand sometimes for free just a thought.

I wonder if I could put my 29 gallon long on this table instead of buying a stand?  It’s solid wood and very heavy it takes two to move. Just wondered what you all think?

Iassuming it would be adequate ?Now that’s a loaded questionmake sure you put Styrofoam underneath what ever you choose and I would see if it was square just a thought.Store  furniture unless it’s Oak I would be super hesitant great question
