Fish tank

[Guest]

We have a 40 gallon, and had that same problem. Buying stands are

expensive, and unless you spend big money, they’re ugly, too.

We used to have our tank (which holds no water- just hermit crabs,

so it’s lighter than one with water) on our hutch. It hung off the

ends by about 2 inches on both sides, and left the hutch cluttered

and pretty much unusable.

When we moved last month, the tank was put on the floor pending the

purchase of an ugly metal stand for $60-70. The day we went to go

shopping, I stopped in at Salvation Army for a bit, and found an old

sturdy coffee table that looked like it would be the right length,

and wider than the tank by a few inches, for only $10. I picked it

up, and it turns out, it’s half an inch too short on each side, but

it’s only 2 inches wider than the tank, and fits perfectly against

the wall without leaving a huge chunk of floor or wall space taken

over by it.

It fits great, and has leaves that drop down (to make it an oval

table) that cover the front of the table, so we store the food,

water conditioners, etc, under the table out of view.

anyone have any ideas on what we can put to hold it? It’s going to

be in our family room but don’t want a huge bulky table or

something. Thank you
