Double 75 gallon aquarium stand for 90 gallon tanks

[FreshyFresh]

I read a couple of reviews on this stand and ppl are saying its wobbly and wouldnt trust it to hold anything bigger then a 75, did you have any issues with it not being sturdy?

For the first year or two, I had the 75g up top and nothing on the bottom. The stand is a little wobbly that way if you push against the tank, etc. I was worried about it and contacted the manufacturer with my concerns. They got back to me right away and claimed they weight tested this stand with 1500lbs per shelf with no signs of fatigue.

Once I added another tank to the bottom, the stand firmed right up. I would definitely buy one again. Not for a carpeted floor, but ideal for hard floors. There is 12" of space above the lower tank with a 75 (or 55) on the lower shelf.

I added some floor jacks in my basement under this setup because the setup runs parallel with my floor joists.

If you can hire a welder, materials was less than $90.00

Can't tell from my pic above, but I do have a metal furniture leg leveling cup under each front leg on my Titan Eze to level it out. Obviously, weight can be a concern given it's only spread over 4ft and your floor has to be a solid surface given all this weight is supported by 4, 1" square tubes. The feet do have plastic caps on them. When I bought my Titan Eze from DFS, I got it on sale for $79 shipped.

Why two 90s? 75s are so much more common (cheaper) and the height doesn't make a huge difference imo.

These tanks would be in my basement so I don't need to worry about the weight issue. Thank you for all of your help I think I'll try this stand out

Jake, I don't think you will be disappointed. Absolutely perfect for a concrete floor. Like said above, You'll only have like ~6" of space above if you put a 90g on the bottom. I'd be more inclined to run twin 75s, or 90 up top and a 75 on the bottom, that way you'll have 12" above the lower tank.

Better hit up the Petco $1/gal sale if you need 75s! Most stores included the 75 this time around that ends Jan 31 I believe.

I might get a 75 for the bottom for a mbuna set up because mbuna just mainly care about the footprint but up top I need for a tilapia buttikoferi that I needed to separate from a different tank so I'll be getting the 90 for him

Ok

My stand was built for 90s or 75s, I buy most of my equipment used. 75s are a lot more common and very inexpensive. The only 90s I came across were in the $300.00 reef ready catagory.
I am still looking for a 90 to replace the sump set up.
