Stand weight

[PLD29]

15 gal tank. Should I be concerned with weight issues with this stand ? Side arms are not that thick but more concerned with the opening from where it sits.

Does it shimmy when bumped? Hard to tell but is it wood or metal? If wood, is it all water resistant?

Put wood in the middle to support it.

I'm not sure i'd trust that stand. Can you link to the stand?

Found the link from where I got it . Says max weight is 66 pounds so sounds like I’m outta luck .

That's a tough call. Rated for 150lbs and your water weight alone gets you nearly there. You'll definitely want additional equipment in the stand and tank taking you easily over that.

I personally wouldn't risk it but I'd also be lying if I'd say I haven't done risky setups before (however, they always made me constantly nervous and weren't worth the stress)
