So I have recently through browsing on Facebook marketplace ended up with a saltwater fish tank!! oops, I used to have A 120 gallon salt water set up for about six years complete with bamboo shark hatching from an egg an a blue ring!!! I got out of the game for a long time and I had a dream about a Nano tank and then I just became obsessed like my username says maybe it's a salt life crisis an ended up getting an amazing deal on one from someone who was moving an desperate to sell.


Long story short I ended up buying a brand new waterbox Peninsula 25!! , The set up that i bought from FB had a weird fraction on the glass on the corner and although the person said it hadn't leaked in 2 years I couldn't justify thinking it's just going to be OK!! I'm going to custom make a stand, There's been some great stand threads but my question is what is the optimal height of a stand I'm thinking 34 inches? i'm going to put it beside a couch. There is a chance that I'll move one day and or want it somewhere else and don't really want to rebuild a stand.. Does anyone have this tank that has a specific height stand that can recommend Or anyone that has experience that goes oh I wish mine was a bit taller or shorter.

Thanks
 
I am not familiar with that tank, but I do have an insight into the height issue that can be important for working on any tank.

The dimension that is critical for a person is the rim height of the tank when it is on the stand, should ideally be no higher than the armpit height of the person working inside the tank. Higher than armpit means that you stand on your tiptoes or use a ladder or step stool when doing in tank chores.
