	How many tanks can those iron Stands @Wal-mart hold, for 10g's?

The bottom tank has a large piece of driftwood that looks like a tree stump on the left side; there is hornwort and anacharis floating above it. The anacharis is actually one piece that's almost 7' long The rest of the tank is planted with Amazon and other smaller swords, and dwarf sag. The top tank has cabomba, anacharis and a radican sword in the back. The plants in the front are anubias and crypts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	so it would be safe to put a 29 on top and a 20 long on the bottom? I also noticed there are oak ones...would those be stronger? I don't want to have any problems of a tank falling thru on top of my other tank lol. Last edited by Azrael_Darkness at 24-Dec-2004 16:19

ACIDRAIN Moderator Posts: 3162 Kudos: 1381 Votes: 416 Registered: 14-Jan-2002	20 gal long version is the same stand for 29 gal tank, same bottom footprint. Fits a 29 gal on top, and nicely fits a 20 gal on bottom. Or you could just have 2 20 longs. _____________________________________________________________ There is always a bigger fish...

The 29g stand is such that the bottom tank is too close to the top tank; the hood won't even open all the way and it's hard to vacuum and even change the filter media. If you get the 29g version I would recommend putting a 20L on the bottom shelf.

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	where did you purchase your double 10 gallon stand? At a lfs, [link=Aquarium Center]http://www.aquariumcenter.com/index.php" style="COLOR: #336699[/link]. They sell supplies and plants online, but I couldn't find the stand on their site. Might only be available at the store. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	i notice my cabomba kind of flakes off to much...i assume it would grow better in a 10 gallon.

malawianpro Fingerling Posts: 48 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Nov-2004	Been wondering that, i would think iron stand is a iron stand, made usually to hold 2 aquariums. But anyone own one that can tell me? or know if they do? Got a place that will beat their price of $24.97.

Azrael_Darkness Fish Addict Posts: 547 Kudos: 420 Votes: 8 Registered: 26-Oct-2004	i can never get my tanks to look that good with the plants lol. I just have no sense of planting style....what plants did you use in those tanks?

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	That sounds like a good price. I have one for 10g tanks, the only complaint I have is it's somewhat inconvenient to gravel vac the lower tank.
