Aquarium Stands

[Sniperhank]

Does anyone use this stand? http://www.amazon.com/Aqueon-06533-Essence-Aquarium-Stand/dp/B0055L05KY

I have no time to make one so that I can house my sump and fuge. It doesn't have doors, but I was thinking about wanting to look at my fuge like I do my tank. Any feedback would be great.

Try to find out if the stand is constructed with MDF! If it is find a different stand. MDF does not hold up to water at all

Uh oh. I don't mean to rob your thread but what happens to stands made with mdf?

Again, I'm really sorry I've robbed your thread. I promise I'm done. Lol

I agree...see if it's made of MDF. I have a recent thread on it, mine is 4 months old and falling apart!
