Current USA 4193 First Impressions

"Nice stand."

It's almost as if the person is in the room helping you build. This fit my fluval chi tank perfectly. Only negative is it scratches easily. Its more streamline with my furniture and I like it alot! They came apart and extremely cumbersome. It looks much more expensive and custom than it is. This is a great cabinet with quality water resistant coated wood.

Current USA 4193 Final Thoughts

"Love the way it looks."

This is perfect for my 10 gallon tank on top and will add my 5. Check out my how to video on my YouTube channel electric blue aquariums. The holes on the areas your will be screwing in were tuff. Water on top doesn't seem to affect it. I must have a better UPS driver than most. The only issue I have, though, is the doors. Stand was a perfect fit for my Aqueon 10 Gallon Tank on the top.

2. Black Acrylic Adjustable Frag Rack and Skimmer Stand

Generic First Impressions

"I have gone through two."

Check out my how to video on my YouTube channel electric blue aquariums. The reason that I gave 4 stars in stead of 5 is because of the wasted space. All of the stands I came across were either too flimsy or too expensive. Shipping was fine, but be aware that it is a somewhat heavy package before unpacked. The quality and rigidity of the stand seem to be above par. Great compliment for the Fluval Flex 15 aquarium. Holds my 10 gal fish tank with no worries.

Generic Final Thoughts

"Excellent product."

The coating on the outside is great. I did not install the hanging panel. The assembly took me about an hour with some distractions. The bottom is a little curve, I cut a yoga mat to even out the little curve. The black matches the black plastic trim on our 10 gal tank almost perfectly. All in all this is a very good product for the money. This fit my 29 gallon tank perfectly.

Aquatic Fundamentals 16551 First Impressions

"Easy to assemble."

The design fits right in with the house and it looks amazing. Build time for 1 person is about 75 mins. It is easy to set up if you take your time to lay it all out first. Easy to put together, maybe 30 minutes. I also have the version that fits my 75 gallon tank. Once that was done, the rest of the assembly was easy. You do have complete access on the sides as the panel is only on the front.

Aquatic Fundamentals 16551 Final Thoughts

"Great stand!"

I am knocking a star for the construction of the frame being not quite square. Just make sure to measure your tank before ordering. All pieces to my unit were there and after reading reviews I was concerned. Seems very sturdy and looks nice with my 50 gallon aquarium. The only thing I would be cautious of ordering this is the dimensions of the stand. This fit my 29 gallon tank perfectly. The bottom shelf has no pegs and can accommodate another small tank or supplies.

"Just perfect for my tank."

The legs clip into the top frame, and the bottom shelf forces the legs apart. It feels really sturdy and excellent quality. Great compliment for the Fluval Flex 15 aquarium. Not necessary to lay wood over the metal rim. This is even more gorgeous in person. Seems very sturdy and looks nice with my 50 gallon aquarium. The coating on the outside is great.

"Worked great."

At first I didn't want to order a stand online. It's almost as if the person is in the room helping you build. There is even enough room inside the cabinet for a 5. It has a nice finish and plenty of space to store your aquarium supplies. Its more streamline with my furniture and I like it alot! I bought this for my 29 gallon tank. Easy to assemble and feels sturdy enough for my 14gal cube.

5. Seachem Zeolite Marine & Freshwater Binding Agent - Ammonia and Heavy Metals 250 mL

Seachem 1272 First Impressions

"Very sturdy."

Extremely high quality for such a small price. They then tell you to mount the door and THEN install the top hinge. Pieces inside were free floating, and there were scratches. But it was still in good shape, just a few mild scratches. Fits my 32 gallon bio cube perfectly. Shipping was fine, but be aware that it is a somewhat heavy package before unpacked. Once properly assembled, the 32 gallon Bio-cube tank sits rock solid on the stand.

  • Seachem Zeolite Marine & Freshwater Binding Agent - Ammonia and Heavy Metals 250 mL
  • BINDER: Seachem Zeolite is a naturally occurring, highly-porous mineral that binds ammonia and heavy metals through an ion exchange mechanism.
  • REMOVER: Seachem Zeolite works in marine and freshwater to remove harmful metal ions such as lead, copper, nickel, and zinc without depleting calcium in saltwater nor increase general hardness in freshwater where the ionic strength is low.
  • DIRECTIONS: Use 250 mL (1 cup) of Seachem Zeolite for every 200 L (50 US gallons). For smaller aquariums, the equivalent dose is 5 mL (1 level teaspoon) per 4 L (1 US gallon). This amount of Seachem Zeolite will remove up to 0.5 mg/L ammonia. Ammonia levels should then drop to zero within 24-48 hours. At this point, the zeolite can be removed or replaced with Active Carbon.
  • FOR BEST RESULTS: Seachem Zeolite should be rinsed before use and placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it, but not so that it tumbles against itself in flow. Zeolite may be used in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. Use of a filter bag is also recommended.
  • SAFETY: Be sure to wash thoroughly after handling Seachem Zeolite and store this product in its original container in a cool, dry area away from food or incompatible materials.

Seachem 1272 Final Thoughts

"I'd but it again."

This leaves just enough room for a little extra storage. It has a lot of space in the cabinet and the doors stay shut very well. Considering the price I'll probably go with Aquatic Fundamentals again in the future. I even had a couple of extra screws. At first I didn't want to order a stand online. Directions were easy to follow, no missing pieces. I am knocking a star for the construction of the frame being not quite square.

"Love the design."

The final part of the assembly was the door. These parts have a semi gloss black finish and seem to restst any scratching. It has a lot of space in the cabinet and the doors stay shut very well. If you want a shelf, you'll have to install them yourself from your own wood. The final part of the assembly was the door. It looks much more expensive and custom than it is.

"Pretty Happy."

This is even more gorgeous in person. I don't know if the wood is water sealed. Don't like center bar on top but understand why it must be there. I use this to support two parakeet cages. The old version required nails and glue and had a cardboard backing. Never have had concerns about it being strong enough or stable. I cannot say enough good about this stand!

Best part, didn't have to buy a tank and a table separate. As I proceeded to assemble the stand, I was pleasantly surprised! These parts have a semi gloss black finish and seem to restst any scratching. Never have had concerns about it being strong enough or stable. I would have given it 5 stars except for the price.

"Works great."

But it was still in good shape, just a few mild scratches. I even had a couple of extra screws. Maybe I will get a nicer one some day, but this looks fine in the living room too. I would have given it 5 stars except for the price. It has a lot of space in the cabinet and the doors stay shut very well. Very sturdy- much better quality than I was expecting for the price. It is a good match for the associated tank.

8. Innovative Marine 30L Fusion High Gloss Stand

Innovative Marine First Impressions

"This stand looks nice."

I put felt pads on the legs to make sure they don't scratch our hardwood floors. If you have an aquarium of a different design, it may not fit. I was wary of particle board stands but this is a great value and is very sturdy. It fits my 20 gallon tank perfectly. The only thing I would be cautious of ordering this is the dimensions of the stand. This is perfect for my 10 gallon tank on top and will add my 5. I wanted to get a fish stand for my 20 gallon high aquarium.

"Once assembled is great."

All in all, I'm very happy with the end product! All pieces to my unit were there and after reading reviews I was concerned. I was expecting something flimsy and cheap at this price but NOT AT ALL. Easy assemble, good match for SeaClear 50 Gallon. Once assembled, the stand was very sturdy. Once that was done, the rest of the assembly was easy. The final part of the assembly was the door.

It's almost as if the person is in the room helping you build. Holding up my 30 gallon cube aquarium. It was kinda a pain to put together but other then that it is awesome!
