Bensmith0998 Posted yesterday at 01:57 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:57 AM A week ago my air stone had a failure. It came disconnected and created a siphon pulling 2 ish gallons of water out from the tank and inside the cabinet. One of the supporting sides of the cabinet expanded with the water and I am now question the structural integrity. It is a 29 gallon aquarium. This is the standard I have: https://www.petsmart.com/fish/tanks-aquariums-and-nets/aquarium-stands/top-fin-aquarium-stand--20-to-37-gallon-64312.html it says it holds up to a 37 gallon aquarium in weight, but I’ve got some pretty big heavy stones in here, so I'm probably close. I took 5 G of water out to try and make it less heavy. What would you all do? But a new stand? I’m worried this stand is going to collapse after being softened. Really frustrated with this cheap wood bs… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted yesterday at 03:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:16 AM it will probably be okay, but having said that, id hate to think about all that water/tank ending up on the floor. 2 options i see, reinforce the inside of the stand with 2x4's or some other wood, or replace the stand.

MWilk Posted yesterday at 03:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:37 AM I would replace it. I need to get some check valves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
