Patrick M. Bodega Aquatics Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hello! I have had one complaint with almost all of my aquariums with stands. They are too low! I would much rather have them eye level fish tank then for me to have to bend down to look inside. Any ideas on raising a stand while at the same time keeping it structurally sound? I am mainly looking at this tank (link is below). I saw some aquarium that looked like WaterBoxes but weren't and I was amazed at how bigger and better it looked with a tall stand. My currently largest aquarium is a 75 gallon Majesty from PetSmart and I am looking to step it up. Any tips or ideas to modify a largish tank (125g) would be greatly appreciated!

Andy's Fish Den Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I think your only options would be to either build a stand at whatever height you would want, or construct a box that the tank and stand would sit on. It could be as simple as some 2x material and some plywood and then you could add trim pieces to dress it up if you wanted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDukeAnumber1 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Yeah, you can build a wood frame for the stand to sit on but IMO the cleaner way would be to save the money on buying a stand and build from scratch. As far as structural integrity I can take a look at it and help, and plenty of other members here have experience building robust stands and have shared photos of their builds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
