well since it will be in my living room I was hoping for a more permanent and nice stand, but I suppose if nothing else that would do lol. Would a basic night stand hold up do you think? I haven't weighed my current tank/build so I don't know on average how much weight we're talking here for a fully set up vivarium. I had Dh pack it from the kitchen to the living room, and currently it's just sitting on the base of my fireplace which is not ideal, but if I am looking to upgrade size sometime I wanted to be sure I took a big enough stand into account.
