devin Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Do you think this would hold a 20 gallon long and two ten gallons? Each shelf holds 1,000 lbs.

StevesFishTanks Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yes. The particle board shelf will be the weak point once they get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipper Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 You could swap out the particleboard for plywood and finish it with helmsman polyurethane to make it water proof. But then again the last time I went to buy plywood I looked at the price, laughed, and left without it 😂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) i wonder if you could like flexpaint or similar all sides of the shelving and make the particle board shelf "waterproof". No idea if it would work but it seems possible theoretically. That may be a decent route to avoid spending your life savings on plywood.
