Can My Tank Be 1Cm Bigger Than The Stand?

[msasa19]

I have been looking into getting the aquaone aquanano 40 which measures 40x40x40, my current stand for my 80L tank is this from ikea:

which is 39cm so the tank will have 1cm over, will it be ok, or shall I quit while im ahead?

personally, I wouldn't risk it

The 'feet' on the Aquanano are 35 cms apart (I just measured

), so it'll be fine on your stand.

oh good!! I really want to get this tank!! I couldn't find anywhere saying that it had feet on it! cant find any reviews on youtube either, and my closest pets at home didn't have it to look at, its a good tank though yeah? I just going to have a few platies or guppies in it and sell on my 80L

Yes, it's a very nice tank.

It was my first ever new tank (always had second hand before!)and it was the integrated filter/heater section that won me over; it is huge, so no worries about not having enough filtration, and it is lovely having no equipment on view

 

[msasa19]

yeah I have only every had second hand tanks! I know its kinda expensive at £100 but I have applied for a new job and if I get the job im going to treat myself and If I don't get it I will still buy it haha

 

[fluttermoth]

lol; yeah, everyone's got to be able to treat themselves once in while; that was the exact argument I came up with to justify buying mine!

Yay! I knew they stood in from the tank, but having the smaller version is hard to advise.

Pleased you can go ahead msasa, and I shall be looking forward to your tank set up thread

Good luck on the job!!

i have my 400l over the edge of my stand (around an inch i think) and its fine and has been for a year or so

You could always buy a sheet of wood and cut it to the same size as your tank and screw that down to the top of your stand.

Make sure you write up a snazzy review

 

[msasa19]

I will make a video review and unboxing/setup and put it on youtube as ive had such a hard time finding ANYTHING out about this tank!!
