Hi, I just purchased a 55 gallon tank, at least I was told it was a 55. The stand I ordered and put together is for a 55. The dimensions of the stand are 49x14, but my tank is 49x15! I looked at a tank dimension chart, and there are no tanks listed that are my tank's dimensions. I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on my situation :)

I am gonna buy a sheet of 3/4" wood and have it cut to the size of my tank and screw it to the stand, all should be fine then.

Thanks!!

Rob

Hello; Just measured my 55. (At least I was told it is a 55.) It measures 48" long by 12 5/8" inches wide and 20 3/4 " high. Measurements taken on the outside. Picked this one up used with a stand. It looks like a 55. To get the actual volume the measurements need to be taken on the inside.
