Aquarium Stands Up To 19 Gallons

While some shelving may work, a stand made specifically for the correct sized aquarium is the best way to ensure you have stable support for your tank. As freshwater averages around 8lbs per gallon of water, even smaller tanks can have significant weight once set up. A poor fitting stand can cause your tank to leak or crack, so caution should be used if not using a commercially manufactured aquarium stand.

The best location in your home is away from windows, outside doors, heat vents or air conditioners to avoid rapid changes in temperature and direct sunlight to your aquarium.
