I kept the setup simple. Kessil LEDs, sponge filter and some plants. I plan on adding a small powerhead and some more sand.
The link below shows some in my hand for size refrence.

I'd be nervous with that stand. Looks like at least a 15 gallon over 100 pounds on what looks like a tv tray.

Yeah, or a 20 gal long, probably 170+ pounds. I'd suggest building or getting a better stand QUICK! Cinderblocks and boards if necessary.

Aside from the inadequate stand, that tank might have failed anyway, even on a good stand. The rim design (sliding top) indicates that It's made for land animals, and might have thinner glass than tanks made for filling with water. The critter-tank manufacturers do that with larger tank sizes; not sure about a 20-Long. Good thing you have a fire hydrant in that room for washing the floor.

The rim is because the tank is an all in one setup. There are lights and filtration in the original hood. No need to use the fire hydrant to clean up, I just let the maid do her thing with a broom and mop.

Why will someone clean their floor with a fire hydrant? He will want to remove water not add water.
