Is anyone worried about their 30 gallon tank tank tipping over on this?

Assuming you're talking about the larger stand, I would say it shouldn't be a problem. I had a 10gal tank for the smaller stand. Since the stand is heavy wrought iron, I was never concerned about it tipping over. I put plexiglass in the shelves, but that was more for aesthetics. It is quite sturdy. I you match the tank with the appropriate stand, you should have no worries.

This stand is built for a 10 to 20 gal tank maximum. Larger tanks would be to heavy for the weight of the stand.

Yes to both questions. The goose neck is very strong/sturdy and the base is weighted so there is no risk of it tipping over.

No. It's stable. I've had mine for over a year and it has never tipped over.

Hi Debbie. If you didn't overload it, you might be okay, but it is on the narrow side and I think would tip over with too much in it. Hope that helps! :) Andie

Point the pump at the glass, not down and that should help. .. I have 2 on my 29 biocube and have no issues.. A 240 is not enough in a 20 gallon if used alone so I would at least pick up another 240 for the opposite side .. Do you have enough rock or is the flow getting obstructed down ? Mine are placed mid level in tank and again are pointed at side glass

I'm sure, I've had mine for a while and have not had any problems. I love mine and I will be buying more for my new tank

my tank is only 30 from side to side... so I think it will be to small. But I am not totally sure.

I wouldn't say it is super sturdy, ours will wobble a little. However, we do keep a fish tank on ours and that's fairly heavy with all the water. I'd say just make sure it's not in a place that will get bumped. Can you mount the TV right behind it and just put dvr box or whatever on the top? Just a thought.

My wife said that she has not had a problem with it falling over. Do you have one, and does it tend to fall over?

No, the easiest solution is to empty the tank and slide it under. Unfortunately, I discovered that after filling my tank with 30 gallons of water. :-)

NOOOO! The metal on this rack is very thin and the top shelf has ribbons of metal going across. It would likely tip over the entire rack. You def want to find something much sturdier for a 55 gallon fish tank. I dont think that it would even hold a 5 gallon tank! We have two plants on top of it now, and I have it bolted to the wall so it doesnt tip.

I have two of these "Bolted" up to the bottom of a cargo trailer secured by aluminum beams. I don't keep the 30 gallon or the 15 gallon versions I have full however they've held up for over 5 thousand miles. No leaks after attaching the fittings with the appropriate glue. I would make sure the tank is firmly in place as I'd say the worst thing you could do is let it bang around. The internal baffles really stiffen it up.

It is a little tippy. Ours has never actually tipped up more than an inch, but it has that "Ah, I better stand up quick" feeling of teetering. Hope that helped.

I had no problem with it tipping over. The battery creates weight in the bottom of the boat to keep it upright. However, getting it to run consistently was difficult--when it was good, it was very very good; when it was bad it was horrid. The battery life was very short. I bought two. It took a lot of time to keep it working from an adult--I bought it to keep my grandchildren entertained. Overall, I think you will be a little disappointed.

I have gotten in and tried to tip it over and found it very difficult. This thing is built like a tank. I have recently purchased a second so I have one for each of my littles.

I am sure this would tip over when the boat starts moving. You would be best served looking for another option. That's my opinion anyway. Good Luck!

It's pretty stable, I haven't had any problems with it tipping over. I love my lamp, the only thing that slightly bothers me are visible light bulbs. I can see the light bulbs slightly below the lamp shade.
