Does Anybody Have The Coral Life 23/32 Biocube Stand?

[BamboozleBean]

I was looking at getting this stand for a 18x18 inch tank, however I’m not sure if it would fit cleanly with the curve in the front of the stand.
Help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I have a coral life 32 and it came with a stand that is curned..., what measurements do you need?

I had that stand for it. It was okay, but not worth it. I think you'd be better off going with something a bit better. I'm not a fan of the back at all, it fell apart.and the stand became fairly unstable. You could probably get a wooden cabinet the same size for the same price and have better durability. The biocube stand is sleek looking, if that's what you're going for

Hahah ya the back went the first hour and I added cross supports to stabilize it. Once it is solid it's not a bad stand. But if you dont get it for under 100 I'd say get a different one

Yup, I paid 150 for it and felt like I could've spent better. Under 100 I think it would be worth it though.

Dont beat yourself up over it. Just reinforce it and it will be fine for you!

It would've been, but I actually got a crack in my biocube and it was leaking, so I did an emergency switch over to 40 b. I've since built my stand and a canopy, and am extremely pleased with how everything came out.

Reinforcing would've been the right move though.

One thing also about the biocube stand was that it was a little bit low for me. Just my opinion from some trial and error, but it's all stuff to consider if you're looking for versatility.

Nicely done!!

I'm only 5'5" so the stand is perfect height for me HAHAHAHA

I'm 5'6", and yes that part is good for us. I would also suggest reinforcing it. Easy mod.

The measurements I need is the top platform where the tank would rest, if I put a square that was 18x18 on top I was wondering if it would fit.
Thanks for the response.

Thanks for the response.

Are you looking at the single door, or double door?

 

[Katrina71]

The double door stand would fit your needs.

 

[BamboozleBean]

The double door stand would fit your needs.

Yeah the double door for sure, but since there’s a curve and the tank is a square. I’m worried that the tank will hang off the front a little bit.

I measured. You'll be fine. The back is flat. If you put yours flush, it still leaves space at the front before the curve starts.

Thanks! I appreciate you measuring that. Glad it’ll fit, I just like everything to fit cleanly and look nice.
