Where to buy Nano Reef Stands?

Joshua Jordan · Aug 28, 2017

I recently purchased a Nano tank (it's a PiCO branded cube - 19"x 19"x 15") I have been searching the internet up and down for a stand for it. I would like for the stand to look like a column of some kind. Wood would be preferred, but not necessary; metal frame is fine. The only one's that I have ever seen are custom-built and I have zero carpentry skills and not to mention none of the necessary tools for the job.

I do have a Coralife 32G LED Biocube and I purchased the accompanying stand but I must say that it is much too low for what I am looking for. (It's only 29" tall)

So, does anybody have any resources where to find a nano reef (cube) stands? Online or not?

Thanks so much for your time!

Maybe check out the JBJ Cubey stands on Drs. F & S. There's not many options for stands of that size unfortunately. Also may be check these guys :https://aquaforestaquarium.com/collections/ada/aquarium-stand

Go to the scratch and dent section of your local furniture store, check out Craiglist for furniture, I bought a very nice 14" cube light stand and I put my 12" cube tank on it. As long as the table is sturdy does not rock and can handle a serious push down on it and does not move it is OK.

For those running the traditional IM tanks (fusion 10, 20, 30L) Ikea Sektion kitchen cabinets are sturdy when bracketed / joined, and the perfect dimensions. As a bonus, there are a variety of door styles and colours.

I have one of those IKEA stands under my IM10 that I love. You do have to be sure to wipe any and all spills immediately though. I had an ATO leak and the bottom is peeling. Still a nice cheap stand though

Yeah, I got the idea from another forum for my 10. Went with two for my 20 and it's sturdy as heck with some modifications. No peeling or any other issues yet on either setup.
