Wrought Iron Stands

[bobtrop]

Does anyone out there use wroght iron stands for their tanks? I use one for my 29 gallon tank and it has a spot on the bottom shelf for another tank. It looks like another 29 gal. tank would fit, but it might be a bit tight. Am I better off putting something smaller down there, like a 20? I do have a piece of plywood on the bottom shelf. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks.

I have a 55 on an iron stand, same thing with the bottom shelf. I put some plywood on the bottom, and a 20 long. It leaves some room on the side for filters & pumps next to the 20.

I used to have 2 24x12x12's on a wrought iron stand, one above the other, when I was a kid. Worked okay.

I have a 55 on top and a 29 on bottom. I would measure to make sure you're going to be able to do maintenance on the filter. It's hard for me to reach back there with so little clearance. It would be even worse if I had a second 55 down there. I don't know if they make the smaller ones the same height with more space or not. I know a friend uses a 10 over 10 with no problem.

On a side note: is there a tank with a footprint of about 13 x 17? give or tank an inch or two? I want to fit a ten on that bottom shelf, but it hangs over.
