STEEL V ALUMINIUM AQUARIUM FRAMES


Things to Know when buying your aquarium stand.

Facts to Consider.
Whether running a Freshwater or Marine system water spillage is inevitable. Many stands, particularly mass produced brands, are made from particle board (chipboard) and MDF. Why? Simply because these are inexpensive products and the work can be carried out quickly and more profitably for the companies using such materials.  
Whilst systems which do not run a sump tank are less likely to expose the cabinetry to water damage it is definitely not recommended that one of these board frames be used for Salt water aquariums, Sumped aquariums or large tropical/freshwater builds. 



Why you shouldn't use a Particle Board Aquarium Cabinet.

The answer is simple. HUMIDITY. The humidity produced by the sump tank will cause a wooden cabinet to warp, swell and ultimately move, the danger is that this damage, in addition to the expected spills when maintaining,  will result in your cabinet becoming no longer fit for purpose, the materials become soft and unable to carry the weight of your aquarium. 
Once the damage occurs there is no way to repair it, the only way forward is replacement which will mean breaking down your aquarium in preparation for a move. The costs of running an aquarium are already substantial without having to buy another cabinet every few of years.
Plyboard and solid wood are a better choice than particle boards and MDF, but they can still be susceptible to the effects of water. This is why Steel is the best choice for an Aquarium Cabinet that lasts.
An empty 4ft (120cm) tank weighing 90kg will weigh over half a tonne (500kg) full.

? ? Do you really want to balance your aquarium on a weak or damaged cabinet near Friends & Family or Colleagues & Customers ? ?

Why choose Steel Framed Cabinets by Aquariums4Life

Easy! The steel frame is so much stronger than wood, even ply-board and solid wood. The nature of the steel stand means that you can have far greater access beneath your tank than the best of the wooden stands. 
The steel will not move over time like wooden frames meaning that, at no point, will your tank have to cope with a change it its base support and therefore a threat to its stability.
The steel Frame means more room for a sump tank and equipment as well as additional space for maintaining.

What makes Aquariums4Life different is the attention to detail, the exactness of the builds, the ability to design and customise to meet individual requirements and the quality. Particular pride is taken in ensuring that the panels on your cabinet are aligned perfectly within millimeters with no annoying discrepancies detracting your eye.

Built to last a Lifetime the Steel frame allows panel replacement in instances of aesthetic variation or damage. Panels can be attached and reattached with relative ease in comparison to a whole system shutdown.

IMPORTANT: Adjustable Feet  

Steel Frame Aquarium Cabinets by Aquariums4Life all have Adjustable-Feet as standard, this means that despite your uneven floor, your aquarium WILL be level.

VIDEO• An uneven base is a cause of tank fracture.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE importance of a fully-supported and level base for your tank. The majority of tank leaks and breaks come from the failure to place an aquarium on a solid, supported and level stand. This causes stress to the glass and the silicone seams which, over time, can, and do, produce breakage.



Steel Framed Tank Builds are leveled by Aquariums4Life when opting  for an Assisted Delivery Option

Maximum Interior Space  

The Aquariums4Life Steel Stand comes, as standard, with Removable Support Braces to allow maximum access for sump tank installation and maintenance.
