Am I the stupidest woman in the world? Probably, because when I went out to the garage to measure it, I found that my husband had placed it on top of a wooden bookshelf that's exactly the right size... we just moved within the last month to a bigger house and ended up with some hand-me-down furniture that's just been hanging around until we find a place for it. It didn't even occur to me to look out there.

Anyway, the dimensions are about 11 inches deep, 30 inches long, and 12 inches high.

Can't say for certain, but the screen top on that tank looks like what you'd typically see on a reptile tank, which aren't designed to hold water. Also looks like maybe a gap in the trim in the back right corner? Definitely fill that up with water outdoors and let it sit for several days before you take it inside.

Great - now they have a suitable stand for the tank, but the tank is not suitable.

Better look in the other garage.

I had a reptile tank that sold as an aquarium, but even then, the aquarium thread told me “not worth the risk that it’s not long-term watertight when you can get a new one for under fifty dollars”. I agree.

A Garage of Holding. an Extra-dimensional space that connects to the void between realities. There is always something new and different when you open the door, as lost and missing objects that have slipped through the cracks of reality have a tendency to find their way into that garage.

I will build myself a copper tower
With four ways out and no way in
But mine the glory, mine the power.

e: Tangentially related as it was virtual construction, but crappy nonetheless; that bit of poem often pops into my mind and reminds me of the time I tried to program an outhouse in Inform 6, and managed just fine except somehow it was possible to go in the actual seat (not for any purpose except perfectionism), but not come out. (I think the poem is quoted in some Inform 6 documentation, or else I have no idea where I know it from.)

I’d be hesitant to use a bookshelf like that, to be honest. They aren’t necessarily designed to hold that much weight on top, and can buckle pretty catastrophically.

Also, check the material it’s made of. If it’s anything other than solid wood or plywood it might melt if it gets wet.

As many people suggested/suspected, you have a "20 long" and there are many options for stands if you find you nee something else.

Wasted real estate in some cases. Give me more square footage for landscaping. Our planted tank was a 20 long, lots of space for plants, and we didn't need to send the light of a thousand suns down through a deep tank.

I appreciate that you took the time to copy-paste the ½ character for this joke instead of writing 1/2, although I have to say that level of craftsmanship is perhaps inappropriate considering the thread's subject matter.

This.

Also, though it looks to me that it’s a real aquarium from that shot, if there is any question that it might be a reptile enclosure, go get a different tank. The risk of a blown tank seal just ain’t worth it, especially with a smaller tank like that. Even at full price a brand new 20L is $50. Most (possibly all) aquarium manufacturers put a tag under the bottom tucked into the trim and siliconed in place. Should be visible from the top, looking down. If there isn’t one, I’d avoid using it for holding water above the 1/4 full line.

Petco does $1-a-gallon sales pretty frequently and you can get whatever size you want from a (I think they’re selling Aqueons right now) reputable manufacturer. (The retailer of course leaves something to be desired.)

They’re doing like $1.25/gal right now on Aqueon glass tanks if you buy online and pickup in store. I wouldn’t risk my floors and carpets over ~$30
