Cinnebuns Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) I've been looking for a stand for a 10 gal. I have a few ideas, especially since a lot of furniture items work for 10 gal, but while browsing Amazon I got an idea. Why get a stand for one when I can get a shelving unit for a few? I haven't looked into it super deep yet but I wanted to get some recommendations if anyone has gotten any online. Most of the ones I was seeing were usually 30 inches high. That means a little under 15 inches between the shelves. A 10 gal is 12 inches high. Would 3 inch clearance be enough to clean and such? I'm not entirely convinced. Although am also not convinced I really need an excuse for more tanks haha. Any recommendations or advice for what to look for?

DaveO Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 If you do all your tank maintenance with a couple of chopsticks then 3" might be enough clearance.🥢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I know you have come to enjoy snails. You could do a couple custom low side tanks and do an invert rack 😍 crayfish, shrimp, snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widgets Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I have a 10g on the shelf below my 37g. There is 11.75" clearance from the rim of the tank to the bottom of the shelf. My 5g bucket that I use for water changes is 12.5" diameter. I have a python and a transfer pump on order so I can pump from the bucket into the tank. Later I plan on getting a 55g can on wheels to optimize my water changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
