I have 2 10 gallon permanent tanks to set up and two temporary 5 gallon tanks set up until the 10 gallons finish cycling.
I've recently moved and I had to leave the furniture behind that they are currently sitting on.
My first question.. can the 5 gallons safely remain on the floor (carpeting) while the 10g cycle? I just hate to go buy furniture just to hold them a month..
Second question, what stands do you suggest for a 10g? I thought about getting one of those stackable double stands that hold 2 10g, but I'm concerned about stability. I do have two places to put the stands.. one is on the second floor but I assume with something as light as 10g (under 100lbs) that it should hold just fine on the second floor.. most people weigh more than that.
I found these three stands:
