Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hey folks. First post here.
I just upgraded from an 8 gal desktop aquarium to a 25 gallon. I purchased the tank and a stand, which match up dimension-wise (24"L x 13"W), but the stand is advertised as a 20 gallon aquarium stand.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference or not, but I'd like to check and see if this might pose a problem. Realistically, if a stand is meant for a 20 gallon tank, will and extra 5 gallons make a difference? Like I said, the dimensions on the 25 gallon are the same as a 20 gallon, it's just taller.
Here's a link to the stand I purchased. Petco Newport Wooden Tank Stand - Aquarium Stand and Fish Tank Stand from petco.com
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
