I wont go for anything thats not meant for a fish tank, especially ikea furniture. They are designed to look good but not solid.

60x30x36cm tank works out to 64+ liters in water volume... combined with the weight of the glass tank itself, around total 70+ kg.
I've seen that IKEA cabinet before and the sheet metal and beams are very thin, not sure if it can hold that much weight without sagging or bending over time. Especially since the cabinet is longer than the tank so most of the weight will be sitting in the middle or one side.
You could buy and try i guess. But if in doubt, look for a more sturdy cabinet that fit the tank dimensions better.
Thanks guys, u have a point UA.
hi, i just got this from ikea for my 60x24x28 tank. you can consider this.

I prefer this Kallax stand @99 rather than the metal cabinet with doors. It gives a 2ft tank good support, especially with the center divider giving additional support. Furthermore, it offers good decorative potential too. I previously had a smaller model also from Ikea which just fits my 2ft tank exactly but with no center dividing brace. Since it is made with solid wood, I have been enjoying it's use for years.
LIFE IS UNBEARABLE WITHOUT A FISH TANK!!!
Material used for this shelf is not water resistant, they are particle and fibre board not solid wood. I wouldnt risk it.
I would advise that you get a proper cabinet built for fish tanks. The material used would be better and more water resistant.
