How tall should an aquarium stand be?

That depends entirely on how you prefer the aquarium stands to look and what the most comfortable height is for yourself. Be aware that you’ll need to be able to access the top of your tank easily, so getting an aquarium stand that is low enough for you to easily reach the lid and bend your arm around – to better reach the equipment – is key.

How to level fish tank cabinet?

Before you pop your aquarium on top of the fish tank stand, the best way to level your aquarium stand is to use a spirit level. Working to get the bubble into the center of your spirit level will easily show you that your stand is level and ready to use.

Can an aquarium hang over the stand?

This depends entirely on the type of stand you have bought. Most aquarium stands are designed so that there is no need for your tank to hang over the edges of the furniture. That said, if the aquarium stand bows, there is likely to be an overhang – of course, these stands are designed for this, and so are built and measured to better support this design.

What should I put under my fish tank?

A padded mat that is designed to be placed under your stands is the best option for you. While there is also the option to add a platform, these offer no moisture resistance and can even be a hindrance at times, depending on the height of your stands. The aquarium mats, however, are designed to quickly and easily fit under stands without altering the height and protecting your house from any slips or spills.
