Tanks, especially glass ones, are extremely weighty. Even more so when they are full of water and other articles. Thus any aquarium stands bought should be sufficiently strong enough to be able to support this weight not to mention flat and level; otherwise your tank may fracture or leak.

Many tanks can be bought independent of the aquarium stand, allowing you to choose from a wide variety of aquarium stands. The more common style are those with in-build cup-boards below allowing the user to house their aquarium-related items directly under the aquarium.

This is not only convenient but neat. Nowadays, aquarium stands can be bought quite cheaply and are very well made. You always have the option of building your own; often time however is a constraint on this alternative.
