    I have a 29g biocube but no stand... my question is, if i cut out a 30x30 square out of 3/4" plywood and out underneath it can i set the tank on a 55 gal stand? I really need to get this tank started but i dont have a stand. Any input is greatly appreciated!

    I hear you lol well do you have any wood to build legs for a stand or you could just cut the 55g stand down to fit the tank

    If i center the tank i will have roughly 8 or so inches in front and back. I could add legs to stabilize it

    If you remove the top and bottom cut it down to size, you could use the same sides and add some 1x's for support. On both my stands I used 2x4's then finished them when I had the time and money to purchase the plywood.

    If you already have the plywood top go to home depot or Lowe's and buy a some 2 x 4's there only $2-$3 a piece and you should only need about 4. Much better than trying to balance it on the 55 stand. It won't look that pretty but better than sitting on the 55 (and safer). You can always skin it later OR buy the stand to match it when you have funds.
