Tank Stand Sizes

Hi guys

Looking into possible getting a bigger tank to replace a small one i have. It will either be 60cm or 80cm long. Most stands i see are 60cm x 30cm, but i have seen some tanks 35cm to 40 cm. Silly question i know, but is having a overhang a big no no?

Thanks

Sometimes the stores do offers on tanks + stands. It might be worth looking into this option.

Thanks for the replies. I have a large desk which a tank could go on, the end of the desk with the drawers under which should be the strongest bit. Decisions, decisions.

I recall seeing photos previously which did have some desks, and have managed to find the thread at https://forums.thinkfish.co.uk/general-fishkeeping-chat/larger-tank-possible/  If it were me, and you're referring to any of the tables/desks in the photos in that thread, I definitely wouldn't risk anything more than 30L on those - fine for one person to sit on for short duration but not the permanent weight of a tank.  If you can find the manufacturer's info for the desk you're thinking of, it may mention maximum weight capacity.

Thanks guys for all the advice.

Think it best to get a proper fish stand for the tank. Although some of the makes of tanks dont have their own stands, sure i can use one form another make. Now just to decide which tank to go with.
