The Importance Of Getting A Good Aquarium Stand

You are probably all excited about getting a fish tank that you have always wanted

. They are fun and colorful with all different types of fish, live plants or beautiful corals. Have you given much thought to how you are going to support this aquarium? Consider fish tank cabinets that are not only designed to support tanks, but they also add beauty and style to a room.

It is a good idea to work out the details of what type of fish stand you plan on using before you get deeply involved in the purchase of the tank, fish, plants and equipment. For example, some of the newer cabinets can be custom ordered with the addition of a canopy that not only accents the base cabinet, but can hide lighting fixtures as well.

Looking at some of the basic features to consider when purchasing a good aquarium stand we will have to determine how much weight the tank will weigh full (8.5 lbs per gallon), so you will know how strong of a tank stand is required. A 120 gallon is a regular tank size, considered not big and not small, but right there where it is standing it holds about 1 ton of water. Is there any piece of furniture that you already have that could support one ton of water over time? Assuming that your answer was no, then if you are not going to place the tank on a concrete wall either, it is not a choice it would need to be purchaser with your tank.

Aquarium stands come in many styles made from real wood, particle board or metal. Choose a stand that provides optimal viewing height. Standard heights are 30 inches and custom fish tank cabinets range from 32 to 46 inches typically.

Coordinate the color of the tank frame with the stand or cabinetry that is purchased so they match and look well together. Storage is another important feature for tank owners. An aquarium requires lots of accessories that people are not aware of when first setting up a tank. Filters, pumps, spare lights, fish food, medicine, nets and an assortment of other equipment take up lots of space. If left near the tank they present a cluttered appearance and take away from the beauty of the fish.

To provide great support and eliminate storage concerns, consider fish tank cabinets made out of real wood. Wood stands are one of the sturdiest materials available and hold up considerably better than other types of materials. In addition, they are not as easily damaged by water as fiberboard.

Give careful consideration to how you are going to support a fish tank, fish and all the water. Setting up an aquarium is easy when you know the type of stand you will be purchasing and that it will support the tank and provide style and storage.
