24inch tank on a 20 inch stand?

Recommended Posts

I am building a stand for the 20H that is replaceing the 37g. Since my stand wont be ready for awhile and I need to switch tanks over to the 20H will the 20H be okay on the 20inch wide stand? The 20H is 24 inch's wide and my stand is 20 inch's wide. Should it be fine? Or should I cut out a piece of plywood to put underneath it?

Also I want to paint the back of the tank Dark Blue. How and what paint should I use?

for the paint, krylon seems to work fine.

 

as to the stand. NO way. even if you put plywood on. that's just asking for a catastrophic failure right there.

if you're going to do it, don't use plywood. got to have enough strength to support the edges and be leveled. using plywood is a disaster in the making.

 

paint = krylon

Screw it. I will wait till my stand is ready. I figured its like 1 1/2 on either side but forget it. I will paint my tank blue. Thanks!
