Will this work for a tank stand

[Esage]

Will this hold a 50g aquarium ?

Maybe! Does the top rest directly on top of the legs? What are the measurements of the top of the table and what are the measurements of the tank? Lastly, what are your plans for plumbing - sump?

 

[Esage]

The top of the stand is 31x25 and the tank is 30x24 all in one

Can you take a clear picture of the under side of the top. Specifically looking to see how the top is connected to the legs.

I don't have it yet. How should the top be connected to the legs?

I can't really tell from the pic, but is the top perfectly flat or is it a bit wavy? I would be concerned if it's not flat. Looks cool, though!

 

[Esage]

The top was flat

I especially like the bottle opener :)

You'll want the top to rest directly on the top of the legs - not to be supported only by the decorative skirt. In other words, you want the weight to transfer from the top directly down and through the legs. If the top is attached to the skirt (or in some other manner) I wouldn't use it. Hopefully that makes sense.

Another important question...do you know what wood the table is made with? It looks like the legs are a solid piece of wood, but no way to know from the picture.

Good looking table.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense. The legs are solid piece of wood.

I also just bought a beautiful piece of furniture that I will be using at a stand for my AIO. You might want to consider sealing the top with three coats of marine sealant before you set up your tank. This is what I did with my other tank. I'm very happy with the outcome so I'm going to do it again.

Thank you for the advice
