Aquarium Stand Question
Ok, so here is the story. About 2 weeks ago I purchased an All Glass 110g aquarium with stand included. Everything seemed fine, but once I set up the stand my friend pointed out a potential problem.
I thought that the aquarium was supposed to fit slightly sunk into the stand so that it covered up the bottom black plastic on the tank. BUT I am told by the people that sold it to me that the aquarium actually sits right up on top of the edge of the stand. Now, I do not have a problem with setting it up this way, BUT most stands that I see are not set up this way, and I am a little worryed about the strength of this edge it will be sitting on. My friend keeps telling me they sold me the wrong stand or something, and that it cannot be right. But I see no other way for it to work, and the aquarium manufacturer made the stand, so you would think it would have to be right.
I tryed to see if I would sink slightly into the stand, but there is a middle bar that would prevent it from sitting balanced. AND! the tank is to wide to sink in anway, so it would have to rest on the edge.
Does anyone own an ALL GLASS made stand? and if so, how does the tank sit ? I just want to get everyones opinion on this. PLEASE let me know what you think. It is an ALL GLASS AQUARIUM with and ALL Glass made stand.
