Tank too big for counter/shelf/stand
Has anyone run across this issue?
I am thinking of putting a piece of plywood under to extend it, but worry if it will look funny and want to see if anyone else has done this and made it look nice.
No, I will not just buy a bigger stand.

I can only recommend to look at kitchen isles from ikea, they are sturdy and one with 180cm lenght and 60cm width costs only 100euros here in germany.
I have one of these guys: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kallax-shelf-unit-black-brown-60275812/ and really like it for my room. Keeps my networking stuff all nice and such. So I'd like to stick with it.
Edit: The tank has been on it fine, but I have a heat mat that is currently squished between the tank and the stand. The mat doesn't get got enough to raise concern, but I just wanted to fix it up and get a larger UTH solution for the hot side and want to get the tank sitting properly prior.
Those work well too, I am going to get myself one of these.
Damn. I problably would, but it is about 175.00€ or 200USD here.
That is a bit price heavy but I think for 1,80m and different kind of storage options it can still be a safe bet to use for one big or 2 to 3 medium sized enclosures.
