maspohno Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster! 😄 I just wanted to pick everyone's brain regarding my situation. Currently I have a 36 Bow tank and stand (Aqueon), which has been running for 4 years. I've noticed that I enjoy viewing my other tanks, 20 tall and 10 gallon more than the 36 which is due to the front facing glass being flat rather than curved. Will the stand for the bow be able to support a 29 gallon? The 36 has the exact same dimensions of a 29 (30"x12"x18") just with a curved front glass. I've added a picture of the stand for reference. Let me know what you guys think! Thank you in advance! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maspohno Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 From what I recall, as long as 4 corners are supported, it should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galabar Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 It looks like the 29 gallon should fit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who has their 29G / 20 Long on a stand like that. I believe it's ok. If you're at all concerned or the stand is a bit wonky, open the cabinet and take some photos. Most of the stands have some kind of support on the ends and the middle of the stand is just in place there. My 29G wood stand lasted about 5 or so years? My metal one will likely last for much longer. The floor where I'm at left it where the stand warped on itself and it's time to retire it. Just a note and I wanted to mention it.

Galabar Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I've got two of the 29 gallon Imagitarium stands: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/imagitarium-brooklyn-metal-tank-stand-29-gallons For 55 gallon and less, I think these are a really good choice (they don't make them any bigger).
