You're welcome!

You're actually supposed to use a rubber mallet (or a hammer wrapped in a rag) to tap the rivets down into the slots.

thanks for mentioning this! a couple viewers already mentioned this in the comments and I only put it together for the video. I took it apart right after since i didn't have the aquariums yet at that time.

Hey, I'm a new fishkeker. I have A40B and I was wondering. How is that stand holding up for you? And are you still using it?

You think this would be safe to use on a 40 gallon breeder being used as a turtle tank??

Great a video. What are the dimensions on the stand?

Its 36in x 18in x 72in, perfect fit for the 40 gallon aqueon breeder tanks. Literally fits like a glove

Shouldve hit the bracings to lock in, P.s ppl they sell these at walmart for 60

Yup I ended up using a mallet my second time around putting this rack together. I initially thought it was slip on, but then a viewer commented and mentioned the hammering process and it was definitely more secure 👍

Are the shelves partical board? And did you add the braces for added support?

@BryanLa

3 жыл бұрын

I didnt add anything or modify these shelves in any way. The shelves seem to be thin wood, but these tanks are supported by the corners and what holds these tanks up in place is the metal frame of the rack. The wood is just there for extra support? It's too thin to support the tank alone but I just left it on

It’s holding up my 40 just fine, the tank really sits on the metal shelf, the wood is just there as extra support on the edges. I wouldn’t put any tank smaller on this stand

yup! it comes with enough for two separate racks!

Ummm, it is indeed a perfect fit, but there is a tiny distance between the board to the aquarium. I assume the weight of the water will make it flush??? Or it’ll be a disaster if it’s not even sitting on the edges. Suggestion??

Yea all 40B should be 36x18x16. The rack is a perfect fit for the tanks and should slip in no problem.

Finally found someone with video of the same thing I'm researching. How are they holding up? Is water an issue with particle board? I'm about to officially jump off into crazed fish nerd territory with moving from my 1 10gal on a "real" shelf into a rack system to have room for growth. I assume I'll have 3-5 tanks before long.

@BryanLa

2 жыл бұрын

yo!! thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it. the rack is holding up good and surprisingly enough, the water isn't really an issue for my setup. I've spilled water on them, overflowed the tank on them, and just regular daily exposure to aquarium stuff. nothing noticeable yet. But... I will note that if you use something other than a 40b (the perfect tank to fit in these racks), I would switch out the boards with something more sturdy. The tank actually sits on the metal portion of the rack, and the particle board is just there. if you put any tank on just the board it self and it's not touching the metal rim, it will crash through. out of the box, I would only put a 40 gallon breeder on this rack. anything else (smaller or bigger) the rack will need to be modified.
