Buxy Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Ok this is my thing, I bought a metal stand from lowes (4 tiers adjustable shelves) I'm alittke nervous about putting multiple tanks on it. Weight wise I should be ok. I plan on putting plywood over top of the metal racks to better support the tanks. Anybody else use this type of metal shelves for there tanks? This is my Saturday project for the fish room. Just an FYI biggest tank I planned on putting on it is a 60 gallon. Have multiple tanks also, 55 and 2 bow fronts and a bunch of 20 highs. Am I good? Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevesFishTanks Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 With the plywood decking you are making the stand much better. It comes down to weight per shelf. The rating should be listed on the box. One thing to consider is the feet or legs of the stand. What type of floor it is going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
