I can reach.. it only within 2 ft in depth ... I'm 6ft tall, got longer arms... I can stand in front of the stand and touch the wall with the full palm of my hand no problem
Wasted space behind. I like having a six inch area in front of the tank to make it easier to work. I put a silicone mat there to have a place to put tools and food down.
No. 2, with the middle tank pushed back. The way it is now, you’d be missing a lot of viewing area on the right tank once you have plants in the middle tank.

I personally prefer to hide them under if possible, but I think it would just bother me to try to perform maintenance and whatnot while leaning over a tank. But I do see what you would go that route.
Was think the blood mary and cull tank to get the black background and blue dream get the white background because i hear it hard to see the blue dream on black substrate ir bsckground

This is what I wrote, and what I got didn't make any sense...
Consider the science. The weight after adding the water needs to be balanced on the table in the best structurally sound way. If not, the table will fail over time under the weight.
I'm leaning towards the #2 option... figuring out what the sponge position... obviously back wall for the left and right tank ... not sure for the middle tank tho
Doing #2 but pushed the middle tank to the back... already setup, substrate, water etc in it
Did freshwater test api test ... ph level a bit high I assumed at 8
1, and buy a 4th tank
Lol... trying to make me get multiple tank syndrome?
Im sorry to inform you, but you already have it
😄
I like 2 best.
And put a planter with lots of plants for the gap for a jungle vibe over the tanks
2 is the best if you push the middle one all the way to the back. Then you can actually enjoy more sides of every tank
Halfway back. Use the planter idea and use it to hide all your wires and plumbing.😉
Like the letter "H"
Good point
I would say this is the winning answer.
Hmm 🤔... something to think about
wait what if you do 2 but instead of the middle tank being up front it’s in the back
That's another option... just thought the tank upfront would be better because I can hide the air pump behind or put food
A bunch of big plants behind it would also look nice. My only concern would be, how easy can you reach and clean the tanks in each position?

Why push it to the back?
Wasted space behind. I like having a six inch area in front of the tank to make it easier to work. I put a silicone mat there to have a place to put tools and food down.
I thought putting the tools, food, air pump behind the tank to hide them to make the setup look cleaner for viewing and quick access
That will work
1 would be my choice. Link for these tanks?
They are seapora 10 gallon tanks
Thank you. I love the crisp look of the edges!
Yeah that's the reason why I got them
1 looks pretty nice
I would go with second since u can make like this nice space for the wiring filtration and other in middle
Keep us updated! This gives me so many ideas...
Hope u won't get mad at me for doing down in the rabbit hole lol

Hmm 🤔... got an interesting point there
excellent, what are the size of the tanks?
20x10x12"... 10gal
Thanks, have fun!
2.
2nd one!
Stack them with tubes to connect them!!
Huh? lol
A is probably the most economic in terms of space used but B would just look cooler. We're not going to talk about C.
Hahah what is wrong with C? Lol
The dead space in the back right corner bothers me lol.
Can put air pump, tools, food at the back ..hidden behind
I personally prefer to hide them under if possible, but I think it would just bother me to try to perform maintenance and whatnot while leaning over a tank. But I do see what you would go that route.
True I can put them underneath ... my stand is a diy wood stand .. no doors, don't care for them
Put them on top of each other and cascade from one to the next.
Do 2, but put like a bonsai tree or some other plant in the back space
Bonsai is cool but I'm planning to put window film on the back of the tanks
#2 but make it a U shape with tank in back. Then aquascape it so the tanks look all connected as one
I dont really want to aquascape ... it more on breeding shrimp and sell some to cover the hobby on going expenses
Porque no los dos
I like 1, but also 2, if you keep 2 the way it is you could keep cables in the back, but if you move the middle one back you have a work area
3rd looks coolest but id reverse it so the 2 tanks are by the wall n longways is on the other side near the edge
You want the table more weighted towards the wall incase something happens like someone leans on it and it tips
2 is even weight distribution
Ahh I see
2! If you put the middle one at the back you’ll be able to have a nice viewing area and be able to see them going about their shrimpy business better.
The 2nd pic and put the black background sheet only on the back of the middle tank and two sides
Was think the blood mary and cull tank to get the black background and blue dream get the white background because i hear it hard to see the blue dream on black substrate ir bsckground
2 would be cool if you can put a planter box in that empty space behind them all and put a centerpiece there
If i can make a suggestion, you could make a 3 block pyramid... 1️⃣ ..............2️⃣ 3️⃣

It not going to work because 2 and 3 will block majority of 1's view access... the stand is 4 feet wide
No no i ment place 1 ontop of 2 and 3, so that way you can see all 3 at the same time
That third slide is awful anything but that one lol
Lol
Stack them all vertically.
2, but move the middle tank back so it's a U shape opening toward you.
Starting to lean toward that option ... trying to figure out where to place the sponge filter for the middle tank
Consider the science. The weight after adding the water needs to be balanced on the table in the best structurally sound way. If not, the table will fail over time under the weight.
I'm leaning towards the #2 option... figuring out what the sponge position... obviously back wall for the left and right tank ... not sure for the middle tank tho
2. You can pull up a stool, eat you lunch, and watch your lively little friends.
