Waterbox 35g cube aluminum stand flex

[zincreef]

See attached video:

I Recently put together this Waterbox aluminum stand after hours of leveling and securing this is the least amount of flex I can get out of the stand.

I am awaiting a reply from Waterbox support, but wanted to see if anyone thinks this is normal or potentially catastrophic movement.

Thanks.

WB will send you some supports. Personally, I would add my own supports until I'm satisfied. I never buy premade stands. Best to have them custom made imo.

@magallonbuckinbulls that makes sense. I assume companies are using the bare minimum safety requirements. I would prefer an over engineered stand for safety’s sake and peace of mind. Where do I even start to search for local trustworthy custom shops?

Yeah, to keep pricing down and not scare off customers, vendors are engineering to bare minimums.
You can easy build your own using t-slot railing. Just needs to be design to handle multiple types of loads.
Or have a welded frame made.

I prefer t-slot railing for my applications. It does cost a little more, but i like the adjustability.
