Aquarium Advice FINatic
Hey everyone. So today I aquired an old aquarium tank stand (for free!), and I want to use it for my old 20 gallon. Even though it is very sturdy, I am considering reinforcing it, but that's beside the fact. I'm worried about the measurements.
My tank is your standard tank. 20 gallons, glass, with the black plastic around the top and bottom. It measures 12.5" deep, and 24.5" wide.
The stand is 13.5" deep, but only 23.5" wide. Now if I hung 0.5" off of each side, would that be safe? Because of the black strip around the bottom? Or would it put entirely too much stress on the seals and just cause problems? I know you can't guarantee me anything, but I was just wondering if anyone has tried it. Thanks in advance.
