    Hey, pardon but i am new to the diy world and not quite sure what 3/4 plywood is. Is that 3/4 of an inch thick plywood which overlaps the 36 inch mark or 3/4 of an inch thick which should be exactly 36 inches. Additionally was the 36 inch tank you used 65 gallons or the other variations? (Which are 30, 40 and 50)

    Yes, I do not want to find out and fail on this one lol. the weight is too close to the limit advertised. I was hoping someone on the forum had tried it before. I have not purchased the shelves yet and will hold off until I can figure it out. I wonder if using cinder blocks and 2x4s work better but feels risks too lol. Thank you for your help and input.

    Thank you, this is definitely my concern as well. It does come with particle board to help level it out but not sure if 65 gallons is too much. Cory made a video with two 40 gallon breeders on this kind of stand from the same maker a few years back but not sure if 65 on top and 30 on the bottom would be overkill. I was considering going longer but might only have room for 36 length maybe a little more honestly.

    Good morning and Happy Mothers day Team, I just purchased a 65 gallon 36x18x24 and want to purchase a stand which can hold a 30 gallon breeder under it. Do you think if i split a muscle rack in half 72x36x18 is safe for a 65 and 30 gallon filled with water, fishes, rocks, wood and decor? I have linked a few places selling it below as reference. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Muscle-Rack-Silver-5-Tier-Boltless-Steel-Garage-Storage-Shelving-36-in-W-x-72-in-H-x-18-in-D-UR361872PB5P-SV/300097687 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Muscle-Rack-Black-36-W-x-18-D-x-72-H-Five-Shelf-Steel-Shelving-Unit-150-pound-capacity/35584046 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Muscle-Rack-Silver-Vein-36-W-x-18-D-x-72-H-5-Shelf-Steel-Shelving/54134491 Do you think 65 gallons which holds about 772 lbs with just water in it would be too much for a limit of 800lbs per shelf especially if I split it in half? I would appreciate any guidance and advice. Hopefully, someone has tried this before. 🙂 I am also open to any suggestions as well. Happy Mothers day again everyone!!!!
