Is this stand adequate for a Fluval Evo 13.5 gallons ?

[Idech]

The tank is a Fluval Evo 13.5 gallons. The stand is made for 10 gallons aquarium and is 20 inches long x 10 inches deep.

The Evo has a base that’s just a little under 20 inch x 10 inch, but the glass extends 2 inches more, making it 22 inches long. So there are 2 inches of the tank that are hanging over the stand; could that make the stand tip over ?

It looks stable but looks can be deceiving and it’s making me nervous. Is it safe or will this risk tilting or crashing in a few weeks/months?

Thank you !

Yes the base is on the stand, thats all that matters.

You should be more than fine.
On another note... I’d turn the tank with the 2” overhang facing away from the wall, rip off the black vinyl to make it a Peninsula style :)

Oh, I might try that !

You have quite the eye to distinguish vinyl from paint, lol !

Looks fine to me. The weight appears to be evenly distributed. The only thing I would do, if it was me, is replace the cabinet top with something a bit more substantial.

I’m so not handy…. I wouldn’t know where to begin and I have no tools.

Knowing myself, it won’t last long anyways. I don’t like the color and I find it too low.

I need it to be good enough though because it will take a while before I replace it.
