Alternative stand for 60L Nano Cube

[pepedopolous]

Ahoj aquascapers!

Please can you help me with my choice of cabinet?

I'm planning to get a Dennerle Nano Cube 60 litre (38*38*43)

As you can see this tank has quite a large depth and most small aquarium cabinets are around 30cm whereas I need 40.
So, what about a cheap bedside table?

This one from Ikea http://goo.gl/sbHc3 seems plausible (not that I like the colour!). However, do you think it could actually support the weight of a 60 litre cube?

I prefer the looks of this one http://goo.gl/gbPoG but the looking at the legs doesn't fill me with confidence about it's weight carrying capacity...

Many thanks in advance!

i would say the first one would be more stable due to the low legs. If the flat top is at risk of bowing you could always brace it with a length of wood inside. Dont get them wet on the edges either as they are chipboard in places. Gerneral ikea stuff is pretty strong and well made

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I think the first one should do it. I'll keep an eye out for other options though. Unfortunately it's gonna be a few months before I can put this plan in action as I'm moving house.
