Hello, I bought a used tank and stand for my first tank setup. its been about a year now of owning this tank and ive noticed it wobbles when i clean it with a magnet. sometimes it wobbles so much that water shifting back and forth spills out. I now have an infant and i worry when she starts to crawl and pull on things that she could pull or push on the tank and cause it to fall or something. I have three options i was thinking.. Either build a new tank stand, repair my current stand adding L brackets to it in order try to stabilize it, or go ahead and buy the upgraded tank and stand ive been looking at. all options fill my head with problems.
If i build a new stand or even buy a new stand i have to worry about empying my current tank removing all the inhabitants and then unplugging things it just sounds terrible.
If i repair it would i need to empty it out to do the repair since i would possibly be drilling into it to make pilot holes for the screws im using on the L brackets, would i need to add something else instead?
If i buy that new bigger tank and stand which ive been wanting for a while then i would have to pretty much do the same thing with the old tank and empty it out to move everything from the old tank then fill it back up and put it back somewhere else cause my new tank has to go where my old tank is currently in order for the new tank to fit somewhere.
all sorts of headaches keep popping up as i am thinking about this. Ugh!!! what do you guys think i should do?
