found a good deal for this 125 gallon that has been set up like this for 3 years. you guys think the tank is safe even though it had that much overhang on the stand? I obviously won't be using that stand if I get it. I just don't know if it's compromised from being on that stand

  1. I’m not gonna lie. I have no real clue but I wouldn’t want any part of that… half cringing just seeing that overhang lol, that’s wild.

  2. I did this with a large snake terrarium. Nothing but air and coco substrate weight it down, and the floor still cracked.
    I would not do this with a tank full of water at any size.

  3. I would put it in my garage. If it leaks, I wouldn’t be as devastated if it was in my living room.

    Absolutely not. This could cause you so much money and stress. Imagine that busting with all the time, energy, and money you would have put into it.

  5. If you buy it don’t put anything expensive in it or anything you’ll get too attached to or spend too much time on it. It might not crack and leak, but if it does, you’ll regret getting it. $175 for a 125gallon though… Tempting, but risky.

    That’s insane….I would honestly wait and get a different one. I’m sure that price would come up on one that’s been better taken care of. Even if that tank *could* be fine, I wouldn’t even risk it.

    If you do, I’d check it thoroughly.

  7. things gonna burst. need to have a stand that spans the whole bottom because you ate putting insane hydrostatic pressure on the seams right now
