29 gallon? Walmart stand?
I had purchased that 29 gallon stand for my 29 gallon tank and took it back. it just seemed a little too flimsy for me. I went on craigslist and bought a pair of matching solid oak end tables. I'm 230 pounds and i can jump up and down on them. They cost me 35.00 and the measurements are perfect for a 29 gallon or a 20 long. and there are 2 of them so I can add a matching 29g to the other side of my bed. It helps that they match my bed fairly well.
The bottom two drawers are modified. They are just the faces held into place by supports. the back panel was removed so I can fit my canister and wiring where the bottom 2 drawers slid into and still have use of the top drawer for food and such. I plan on hinging them and adding magnets when i have time so i have front door access.
Get a new stand if your daughter is a concern. something sturdy. You can also build your own for cheap. Home depot will do all the wood cuts if you don't want to buy extra tools.
