Picking out a fish tank stand may not seem like a complicated, let alone interesting, expedition, and if you stick to those black plastic options offered by the local pet store, it isn’t.
However, if you apply a bit of creativity, you’ll find a stand that is both functional and fitting, and maybe even fun. Start at the pet store, but then branch out to consider other options. Be adventurous.
If your funky tank is full of neon rocks and sports a black light, consider settling it on top of a brightly colored plastic stand. You can even paint it yourself to match the colors of the tank!
If it has shelves under the main table, fill it with fun retro items like a lava lamp.
For more classy, clear and blue tanks, think about a glass-topped table.
This will give an illusion of transparency and motion. Accent this kind of tank with clear glass beads and vases for a refined touch.
And for those more traditional tanks, you might choose an antique sideboard or coffee table. Just be sure to protect the top, and this will add an old world feel to your room as well as give you a nice storage space for your tank supplies.
Above all, feel free to experiment.
Your fish aren’t boring; their fish tank stand shouldn’t be either.
