Today, I heard an ominous creak under my 55 gallon (which weighs about 650 lbs), so I decided to look into other tank furniture. The creak may have been nothing, as I was leaning over the tank to get to a dead shrimp. Perhaps I just shifted the weight or something. Regardless, I was wondering if any of you have any ideas for inexpensive (yet sturdy) tank stands. Currently, I'm using a converted and gutted old stereo system.
I've looked at a few stands on petsmart's website, but there aren't very many within my budget with good reviews.
Also, how do I know if a stand will support the full weight of my aquarium?
