Just wondering of anyone has this and what they think...

I almost ordered my Aquapod 24 today from Preuss Pets but don't want to put it on a stand that will fall apart...

Anywho- thanks!

What stand is it? The ap stand that is like a square with a platform on the top and bottom? If so, I have it and it has been great for a year and a half.

It's okay, I wish I would have gotten one like Ocho is describing. I think there is a square one thats made for another tank that first well and has a ton more storage space that the tiny triangle thing. It's really hard to hide any cables behind the triangle stand too.

I was a little scared of the AP stand so I got the BioCube 29 stand for my AP 24. I love it. You can see pics on my thread.

the knock down one? is that it?

That's the one I have. So far so good. I guess the cabnet part is not a square.

I have that stand and hate it...had a tiny leak, and it warped the top enough that I can't get the door (which doesn't hold much of anything) open anymore. I've got it on hardwoods, and it has never felt as stable as I'd like. I'm moving soon, and when I do it's going in the garbage.

The Solana stand works perfectly with the AP24. Plus you get a drawer and storage underneath and it looks nicer imo.

i had that stand too and it's a POS.

 

everytime you slightly bump your tank, you'll feel like it's going to tip over. it's designed like a top heavy bowling pin. i would go with something sturdier.

 

additionally, the space inside the stand is practically worthless. it's very small.

I hope you didn't buy it yet. I agree it's a POS. Just cleaning my tank with a mag float the thing wobbles. I also had the same issues as alison.d, my top warped from a small leak and I can't open it anymore.

Wow, i guess its 75/25...more against..uh oh!

Well, I'm getting a BC 29 at Preuss and the stand( theres a sale on the stand at the doctors...)

Anyways, thanks for all the help everyone! You guys are so nice :lol:

Well after 3 months researching, and a lot of lurking...

I guess I'll be starting my own tank thread late this week/next week! YAY!

Definatly crap. Do anything with the tank and it wobbles. Forget about trying to clean the glass without holding the tank as well as minding the wave level. Find a simarly sized stand with a full cabinet bottom. That should give you good support, and provide you with a good bit of storage or place for a sump/refugium to boot!

Dang... I like this stand!!!

Maybe when I get off my lazy butt and do the hardwood floors, I'll change stands on my Nanocube...

 

Sorry for the hijack!

Reading this thread relieves my apprehension whether I'd done the right thing, had same questions few months ago, since I'm so tight I built my own, with over 250# of rock and water it's like a BSH and can't be moved, I feel good, it's pretty too!

Have AP stand works great and is designed for that tank, top and bottom are both large for increased

stability.

That was some sexist bs anyways, I hate when guys are like that...Reminds me of when guys just take pics of their bodies to hide their NASTY faces... :wacko:
