Or if you can find a good real wood dresser they can hold a small fish tank. Upto about a 40 breeder I'd reckon.

Yep, easy to find, the dresser I was talking about are the ones with glass fronts that people put China plates and stuff in, seen a lot of awesome tanks for critters made from those

The old dressers are pretty sturdy but I'm not too sure about the newer ones with the cheap cardboard backs.I have a 75 gallon running that has been on a dresser for years.

Mind posting a picture of that dresser? I wanna compare it to mine to see if mine is strong enough for what I have planned.

I am always checking offerup app for deals and free stuff I got a 55 gallon with stand and hood for free

Good find, I'm stuck waiting for that sale at petco and paying $60 something instead of $55 now :/. I need 2 more 55's and a 40 breeder then I'm done... I swear! Ok I'm lying . I won't ever be done

The biggest I used was for a 55. The height on the legs matched 4x4 landscaping timbers. So, I ran 2 to help relieve the weight off the legs. Nowdays I'm using the dresser for my bedroom TV stand.

Get a above ground pool (not inflatable)
Makes a great pond, and allows fish more room.
Cheaper as well, which is a plus.

Nice dresser. If that can hold a 75 then mine should be able to hold a 40 breeder easily.
