Ciachopoker Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Would a stand that's is 48x16 be able to hold a 75 gal tank, measuring 48x18? I have a stand for my 55g that is 16" wide and would like to get a bigger tank but don't know if I can just use the old stand. What if I get a piece of plywood 48*18 and place it under the tank that should support the extra 2in. Or do I need a new stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARMYVET Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Put the plywood down like your thinking then take 2x4 and brace the ledge to the floor on both corners and you will be fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 physically, id slap a 2x4 along the back even with the top, then add a piece of plywood on the top. now the real question is, will that stand support the extra weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciachopoker Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 I got the stand from craigslist for free. The guy said that it held his 75g tank in the ad, but I just picked it up off the curb. I don't have a 75 but I'd like to get one. Currently I only have a 55g but have the same stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
