Wood Vs. Metal
You might be asking yourself why would I ever need a reef'nsalt steel stand? Steel stands are not for every aquarium but are strongly recommended for large aquariums. Wooden stands can warp, and break. Where treated steel will never rust, or warp. Not to mention having more space for filtration and other additions that can make your life easier such as a vinyl inlay with a drain.
You don't have to compromise ruggedness for beauty, finally you can have both! We suggest purchasing a steel stand to bear the weight of the aquarium, and then you can add a wooden face for the front. Your family, friends, and colleagues will never know the difference and you will have peace of mind knowing that your aquarium is safe and secure.
