Biocube stand got wet!! **Transfer Complete!**

Yupp, not a whole lot but some.

I hope the support board I place under it Monday will hold until I get a new stand in place.

My guess is, if it hasn't failed yet I might be okay. But only as long as it doesn't get wet again.

 

I'd be a nervous wreck. I can only imagine moisture traveling up one of the side boards and collapsing horizontally. That won't happen though.8)

 

Ha, it's 3am right now and I'm laying in bed going over different stand ideas and how the current one could fail.

The two side panels do have some splitting it seems like but only about 1.5-2 inch space total. There is still a good amount of "heathy" board still there to support the tank.

 

IMO I'd replace the whole stand. And as everyone else is stating DIY stand all the way buddy. I hope it works out for you. Good Luck.

 

Well guys, thanks for the help.

Sadly I think I will be buying a replacement stand for my cube. Id half to wait a month to build my own stand. I found a replacement stand for 133, for what I am looking for and style I feel this will be my best option. Also if I order today I will have it tomorrow, and that right now is best.

 

It stinks, but also with as much work as you have done to make it look like a stock Biocube. I actually think it's better to get another bc stand. Fits your theme.

 

Thanks! Well said, thats what I was thinking about too.

 

Well guys, I just ordered the stand from Amazon. I somehow got a special promotion on this thing. I got the stand shipped overnight for only 133!

Now I need to find out how to transfer over to the new stand.

 

Build the new stand. Move as much rock and water into buckets as you can. Get a strong helper and move the tank and stand. Swap stands, move the tank to the new stand and refill.

 

Here's what the damage looks like..
