Hello all, I have a 75 gallon tank that I am looking into getting a new stand for and I was wondering if anyone here had any recomendations or experience using freestanding industrial wire shelving as an aquarium stand.

No matter how careful you are rust is an issue if it is galvanized or powder coated you may get away with it but otherwise rust is your enemy

This is an acrylic 75. 7/8 painted sub-floor under the rack wheels and under the tank.

You want a NSF wet rated rack with adequate per shelf weight allowance. Rustolem rust reformer is great for touch ups. The wall of water has been going for 3 years. Custom 65 on the left, 70 long in the center, and a 55 frag on the right.
