"This is a HEAVY piece."

It was kinda a pain to put together but other then that it is awesome! A lot of storage and our aquatic turtles love all that space from 20 to a 40 gallon. Seems very sturdy and looks nice with my 50 gallon aquarium. Very sturdy- much better quality than I was expecting for the price. Holds my 10 gal fish tank with no worries. The shelving Is a plus, but I feel it is overpriced. Build time for 1 person is about 75 mins.

"This is great."

The coating on the outside is great. The old version required nails and glue and had a cardboard backing. My only wish would be that the center door could be a little wider. Considering the price I'll probably go with Aquatic Fundamentals again in the future. It is easy to set up if you take your time to lay it all out first. It fits my 20 gallon tank perfectly. As I proceeded to assemble the stand, I was pleasantly surprised!

4. Seachem Zeolite Marine & Freshwater Binding Agent - Ammonia and Heavy Metals 2 L

"Really nice stand."

I can't say enough good things about this product. I did add wood glue when assembling it. Holds my 10 gal fish tank with no worries. Just make sure to measure your tank before ordering. Check out my how to video on my YouTube channel electric blue aquariums. There is even enough room inside the cabinet for a 5. Looks like it should last for a long time.

• Seachem Zeolite Marine & Freshwater Binding Agent - Ammonia and Heavy Metals 2 L
• 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.

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.

"I like the stand."

The black matches the black plastic trim on our 10 gal tank almost perfectly. They came apart and extremely cumbersome. But it was still in good shape, just a few mild scratches. This stand is perfect for my bio cube aquarium. Beware if you find the top on line. The back has large openings for filter tubes and power cords. The legs clip into the top frame, and the bottom shelf forces the legs apart.

Aquael AE2192NET First Impressions

"I own two of these."

That took a lot of hand and my own weight and strength to get the screw in nicely. They came apart and extremely cumbersome. I like the dual aquarium aspect of it so that I can have a 10 gallon aquarium below. The finish absolutely will bubble if you get it wet. However, one gets use to working within the space provided. Otherwise it a very sturdy and easy to assemble stand. I don't know if the wood is water sealed.

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.
