My AQ 29/37 Stand Has Held Up Well Over Three Years Of Use
By JimmyBlues
Nearly three years ago I purchased an Aquatic Fundamentals29/37 aquarium stand for my Aqueon 37 gallon aquarium.This stand will also accomodate a 20 long aquarium which has the same footprint as the 29 and 37 gallon aquariums.This stand will also support smaller aquariums which have up to or less than a 12" depth and 30" length, and which weigh less that 400 lbs.This stand has held up well over the past three years, supporting the weight of my Aqueon 37 along with about 30 lbs of sand. Since the sand displaces the weight of an equivalent number of gallons of water, the total weight of this tank including its frame is just North of a 400 lbs.The AQ has done its job of holding this aquarium up for the past three years, even through a mild earthquake that we had here in the Northeastern part of the United States in August of 2011.I have since broken the 37 gallon down and will be replacing it with a Mr. Aqua 17.4 gallon acrylic rimless aquarium to house a school of Rasbora Harlequins and some dwarf hairgrass and microsword plantings - which will now be sitting atop the AQ 29/37.My only criticism of the AQ 29/37 is that when the powder coating gets wet, the water can oftentimes seep underneath the powdercoat, which results in its bubbling.While Aquatic Fundamentals warns not to get the stand wet, it is nearly impossible not to do so from time to time.Moreover, it is unrealistic for a manufacturer of aquarium products not to recognize that a product which is used around water is going to get wet from time to time; regardless of how careful the user of the product is.And while I have found no structurally weakened areas of my AQ 29/37 as a result of this, Aquatic Fundamentals should address this concern, given that it mars what is an otherwise fine product which is sold at a competitive price.As for price, for those who purchase an AQ 29/37 online, I have also noticed the substantial price increase in the AQ 29/37 since I purchased mine in 2010. With shipping, the price now approaches $180, when I paid about $106 for mine including shipping. That is quite an increase in price over a period of slightly less than 3 years; the higher shipping costs making up most of the increase.In summary, I find that this is a well made piece of aquatic furniture with excellent structural rigidity. Now if Aquatic Fundamentals can only use a fully waterproof coating, this product would be representative of the truly ideal aquarium stand.

Very Nice Stand
By Danny
To be honest I didn't expect much for $99, I was pleasantly surprised when I received the box. Assembly was easy and parts all fit like a glove. The stand is actually nice enough to place adjacent to the entrance of our front door. I definitely would buy again.
