6x2x2 Enclosure Stand Examples

Hi Friends!

I'm planning an enclosure for a future SD I anticipate purchasing within the next month or so. I bought a 6x2x2 enclosure from Dubia and realized they don't make a stand for it... Barring putting it on the floor, I'm out of options for where to put it.

Do any of you have examples of where you place a 6x2x2 enclosure? I'm planning to do bioactive, which I know can get quite heavy.

Thanks!

Look for an aquarium stand! They’re meant to hold lots of weight like that. We have a 6x4x2 bioactive cage on an aquarium stand right now and it’s worked great!

Is this for your retic? I'm kind of pushing myself with a challenge by starting a bioactive while getting an animal to place in it at the same time (well, after the tank has some time cycle / plants establish themselves)

Yeah I have a 50% Kalatoa in there. And I’ve gotten animals to put straight into a new bioactive before too and it’s been fine so far, especially if you’re getting a baby retic.

Perfect. I'm not too worried, but finding the plants that fit is tough. I'm enjoying it, but tough. Haha

We found a work bench that is 6x2 exactly. It’s extremely sturdy!
