Hey guys sorry to start a thread about this but I can't find the info in any threads on here.I'm trying to find a solid, sturdy stand for my waterbox mini 15. I have it on a kitchen cart/countertop like deal from ikea (I think it's from ikea). I do not feel secure with this seeing how it wasn’t meant for fish tanks. I've talked to waterbox and they do not make stands for this tank. What are waterbox mini users using? Thank you

I'm comfortable putting smaller tanks like that on most sturdy side tables.

I'm in a constant state of anxiety over the stability of this stand. A sturdy side table would work but i'd still fret over it.
 
I hate to mention their names, but did you check out petco/petsmart. They actually sell a variety of small stands that are cheap but very sturdy. Years ago, I got one for a 40G for something like $50 and I bet it could support Vince Wilfork

Lol I have looked at petco/petsmart and have my eye on a metal stand at petco. I haven't taken the measurements but it's an option.
 
Is the cabinet not sturdy? I had my nano tank on an Ikea Alex Drawer unit. It looked great and held up just fine for over a year. I wouldn't be worried unless you see some sort of issue with your cabinet. Maybe reinforce it for peace of mind.
 
I’m in the UK and am also struggling to find something to put my new waterbox 15 on. I’ve seen a few cabinets that fit size wise but say their maximum weight capacity it around 40kg but the tank would be around 60kg once filled.
