Metal stand

[kenny_scotland]

Hey all

quick bit of advice needed. I’ve found a metal stand for sale locally and it’s the exact size of my tank 48x12. There’s room underneath for a sump which I’m looking to get at some point.

I’ll attach a pic of what the guy sent me.

my question is will 1 foot wide be stable enough with a tank on top? Also I assume the width available for a sump will be a little narrower. Is there options for 10 or 11 inch wide sump?

Many thanks in advance

Hi, I am not sure it is possible to say as looking at that unassembled pic may be not enough information.

Looks like a top frame a bottom frame and the angle legs that attach the top and bottom together. If the dimensions are accurate it would appear the angle legs are 24", half the 48" length of the top and bottom frames. The tank would be 2 feet off the floor and very little clearance for a sump and equipment. What I noticed.

the height has been given as 27 inches. Would that suffice?
