A sturdy stand is a must-have for any aquarium setup. Whether you're housing a small betta tank or a large community aquarium, Chewy has a variety of aquarium stands built to support your tank safely and in style. These fish tank stands are designed to handle the weight of your tank while offering extra storage and a clean, polished look for any room. Fish tank stands come in different styles and setups, some of which include:
The right fish tank stand doesn't just hold your tank — it brings the whole setup together. From space-saving styles to bold furniture pieces, these stands make it easy to find something that fits your tank and your home.
Aquarium stands are furniture pieces designed to safely support the weight of a filled fish tank. They also often provide storage space for aquarium supplies and accessories.
Most stands range from 28 to 36 inches tall. The right height depends on your tank size and where you want to view it, whether that's from a sitting or standing position.
Popular materials include solid wood, metal, and high-density fiberboard. Look for materials that are water-resistant and strong enough to support the full weight of your tank.
A 50-gallon tank can weigh over 400 pounds when filled. A proper aquarium stand made for that size should be able to support that weight, but always check the product specs to be sure.
A 20-gallon tank usually weighs around 225 pounds when filled. A stand designed for 20-gallon tanks should handle that weight safely as long as it's assembled correctly and placed on a level surface.
