This is our kitchen table ( sorry for the mess ) and I wanted to put my 20 gallon QT on it. I forget the formula for weight ~ Is it 8lbs per gallon of water?
So that would be 160 lbs on that table? Or am doing this wrong? Seems it would be more...
For gosh sakes, Marie. Clean up your table! I do not see any room for anything else on that table! :lol:
20gl @ 8lbs per gallon, your table should hold 160 pounds easily.
That shoudl be ok. I bought a desk / cabinite from IKEA for my 20 gallon Much cheaper than a stand and extreamy sturdy it fits perfectly. I took the wheels off mine. has a drawer and cab to store stuff with cable control (meant for computers)
Okay, peeps. This tank is going up this weekend. ( I say this now ~ but...) Tell me, would you or should I put this tank in the center of this table?
I am paranoid ~ once I had my 55 gallon tank pop. It was horrible. If I had not been home all my discus would have died. There were floppin on the floor, in the tank ~ water every where! We were grabbing them and they are strong too! I was crying. Crapums.
The back just popped out of it ~ incredible.
hmm....this would make a really good thread topic.
