GDLF 125-150 Gallon Fish Tank Stand, Heavy Duty Metal Aquarium Stand with Power Outlet and Cabinet for Fish Tank Filters and Accessories,72.8" L*18.9" W,2200LBS Capacity

If it were not for the few quality control issues and additional requirements for me to drill and fix small parts, I would have given this stand a five star review. At this price point, I am still saying this is a good product and I am happy about my purchase. I was skeptical based on the negative reviews; however, I was willing to risk it at the price point for a 2,000 lb capacity stand that was large enough for my new 125 gallon aquarium. Either upgrades have been made or the negative reviewers were not assembling the stand correctly. Once the bolts and screws are tightened, the unit is very stable and does not wobble as demonstrated in the negative video review. The only wood screws are for attaching the MDF/fiber board sides and attaching the power strip to these boards. There are also additional brackets that are installed that prevent sway side to side and front to back. Prior to installing these, there were no stability issues after fully tightening all the screws. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and I have not doubts about the ability of this stand to work for my aquarium. There are a few flaws or areas to improve that I have listed below. There were extra screws, bolts, and rolls of the anti-slip foam tape. The shelf supports screw into the legs instead of simply sliding in. This is a nice feature and makes the shelf very stable. The shelf itself has an external support beam that is mounted during assembly and has notches for the supports to slide into and stabilize the shelf. CONS: Limited quality control prior to shipping. The sides have the alignment holes mismatched. I had to drill a new pilot hole in the side to align with the metal side. The foam anti-slip tape comes up short on the long sides. The short middles are deliberately short to allow the longer front and back pieces to fit; however, these pieces were short a full side piece width to reach the end. I used the spare pieces to cut a small extension. Three holes were either not properly tapped/cut or misaligned. Two of them were only bad enough to need a little extra force to thread, then I backed out and used and new bolt/screw. One was so bad that I used force until the bolt stopped turning. Overall the stand is extremely stable and this one bolt did not cause any issues with stability. Not a negative thing, but I would personally have an alternate location for the power strip to mount and include an additional shelf. Since the power strip is mounted to the sides with screws, this can be done easily. If you need a heavy duty aquarium stand at a reasonable price, this is a great option.

Great stand! It’s very sturdy, easy to assemble, and looks great with my aquarium. It holds the tank perfectly and gives me confidence that everything is safe. I’m really happy with this purchase. Highly recommend! 🐠

This stand is solid! I would recommend this to everyone.

Very well built but the top of the stand on both sides have an open slot which doesn’t show in the pictures and it exposes the sump and other elements that let noises out of the stand so you’ll definitely hear water from both sides of the stand. Also measure your sump if you’re using one because mine barely fit and if it didn’t fit I’d have to dis assemble & send back to shipper. Lastly the assembly instructions weren’t very helpful so I had to take apart the entire stand a few times because some parts wouldn’t line up. If it was up to me I wouldn’t have never bought, I would’ve just bought one from a local aquarium store already assembled and with no openings on the sides of the stand.

Overall the entire stand is sturdy and durable. The only issue is the same as others have mentioned: the misaligned screws. The only part where the screws and holes do not match nicely is at the end when you are installing the cabinet doors. Out of all four doors I was only able to get one door on with all four screws. For the remaining three doors, I was only able to fit 3 of the 4 required screws and I called it a day. Luckily the 3 screws are more than enough to hold the door and they do not affect the structural stability of the stand in any way. The only downside I could think from the misaligned screws is that the cabinet doors do not level out with each other. On both sides, one is slightly higher than the other, but it is not really noticeable unless you get very close. All the holes and screws that would affect the stability of the stand matched perfectly. I currently have my 125g tank on the stand and I like it. The instructional manual was easy to follow and was able to have it built in a few hours. There is no back board and there is no floor board (just in case someone could not tell from the pictures. )

I put this together myself without the help of my husband . This is very sturdy ! I needed a heavy duty stand for my 125 gallon saltwater tank since I was adding lots of sand and over 100 pounds of live rock . This is well made and well worth the money. And easy to put together !! Highly recommend

Very stable and secure, but you need to do the metal frame first before adding the sides, also the sides may be turned and not as the manual says, just turn right and left. But it’s a must to do the entire metal frame first and tighten it. Also you might want to add a plywood on the bottom of the tank so your equipments are not on the floor, best measurement for that is 71.5” x 13.5” if you don’t want to cut anything

This is a great stand for my 125 gal tank. My tank fits perfectly on top and my sump fits perfectly in the bottom! I'm not sure about other reviews about the stand being wobbly. Maybe they didn't put it together correctly. It is very study and has many points of reinforcements! After I put the stand together, I had no doubt it could hold my 125 gal tank. Now I have my tank full of water for almost 4 weeks and no issues at all! Great stand! I'm very happy for it's sturdiness and also for how good it looks!
