Will this table hold the tank…


Well, the tank and scape look stunning! The cabinet does look very solid and there's very, very little overhang, so I'm betting it'll be fine, but at least you know what the potential risks are and can be prepared and make that informed decision!

The cabinets I'm using as fish stands aren't designed for that, so I've taken bigger risks and so far gotten away with it... hope that doesn't jinx me! Love that anubius coffeeflora BTW, I had to get one after seeing one too, they're so tropical looking.
 
Love the wood piece(s)! Is that one piece? Or did you wedge a few together to create that? I'm not very good at doing that, but would love any tips and advice for building the wood up like that! Unless you just found a gorgeous piece that's shaped that way already. But those are often too expensive for my budget :(
 
Thanks everyone! After staring at it all day….I’m restarting tomorrow 😂 just doesn’t look right to me. Also had a number of comments from other pages about the cabinet and it’s stressing me out, so I feel I can’t enjoy it. It’ll be relocated to the kitchen counter top, which is very solid, no chance of an overhang, and waterproof. (I like to tinker and change things a lot and so comments about the wood warping when wet are really stressing me). It’s a shame because I’d prefer to have it where it is in front of the sofa, but it is what it is… As said previously, this tank is only something to scratch the fish keeping itch until I move in 6 months and upgrade. Until then, I’m sure I can still find joy seeing it in the kitchen!

Regarding the wood and the scape, it is multiple pieces. How do I go about deciding….pretty simple. MD Fish Tanks on YouTube taught me everything I know. Can’t recommend his videos enough. I’ll attach some pictures of when I was looking at scape in the store!

Just picked up a little 55 litre tank. Wandering whether it will be okay on this bedside table?
There is a tiny overhang which I’ve tried to show in the picture… thanks
That will definitely hold your tank!!! Level it out with shims. Your good to go!!!! Have had tanks for 35 years on stands less stought than that!!! 0 Problems. Although wouldn't do it again the much lesser stands i used. I think I just lucked out 😉
