My concern with that stand is will it be able to support the 1000+ lbs of the tank filled? It looks like a basic tv stand and I don't see much support in the mid section.

How about I try and work for a new stand. One that is custom build just for my floor. My floor is on a slope, so I want everything to be safe. I can get a carpenter to make the stand legs and make them the measurments I need. Also I will make sure it is sturdy. And for the Mandarin fish, couldn't I breed copepods in a refugium? I could totally get more space if I create a nice large sturdy stand.
Can you get a pic that shows this better? Hoods I'm torn on, while they are eye pleasing since they hide your lights, they can also be a pain in the rear because most of the time they need removed to work in your tank or other things, depending on if your lights raised you may not have space. I kept mine off due to these reasons.The people at my LFS said I should get rid of the brace in the middle of the tank, the thing on the top, for better lighting. But then I would have to buy a new hood. What should I do? @Eienna @Duke4Life
Make sure whatever hood you have it is secure enough for the eel, they can escape the smallest of gaps and even lift the lid.The people at my LFS said I should get rid of the brace in the middle of the tank, the thing on the top, for better lighting.
