Hi friends,
I am moving next month and figured I would upgrade when I move my tank. I currently have a Innovative Marine Nuvo 20 peninsula that is on a stand I made from a bathroom cabinet at Lowe's. I've never had any issues with it. I took the measurements and realized a Nuvo 40 tank would fit on it. Tank dimensions are 20 x 24 and the cabinet dimensions are 32 x 20. So it matches up perfectly width wise, and I would place the tank in the middle so there is 4 inches of countertop space on either side of the tank.
Want opinions on whether this is doable. The IM 20 peninsula is a small tank so I wasn't really concerned about weight bearing, but the 40 would be double the size. Unfortunately I'm not sure how much time I would have to reinforce, I could potentially set up the 20 at my new place while I reinforce the stand if I have to, but I'd rather make the move all in one day.
Let me know your thoughts! Thanks so much.
Below are pictures of the stand and the tank I am considering.
