Would this support a 30g Cube?

[Quang]

I have this table from IKEA:


LACK
side table
$12.99
More options



Do you think it could support a 30g cube?
30g cube filled is roughly 348 lbs. per About.com

 

[bad coffee]

yeah. for a little while.

Then you'd have a wet floor

If you get this tank, you know it won't be that .4g upgrade we were all hoping for :sad2:

YEah he needs a job

Froggie, NO IT WILL NOT!! For several days maybe. The legs of those tables have a screw attached to them. This flimsy attachment goes into the bottom of the table. If you have ever hit the table cause you were pissed you would know that the inside of the particular table is nothing but thin cardboard ribs.Totally not made to support anything heavy for extended periods.

no joke, building a stand is probably the easiest thing to do. It will probably cost you 40 bucks to build

Froggie,
If you see any good stand for this cube tank, let me know. I need to setup my brand new 33G cube tank.

Or if you are building one, please send me the detail. Thanks.

I also have this drawer.
I'm thinking about putting the Oceanic Cube on top of it.
The wood is about 1" thick and the dimensions are roughly 30Lx18wx28H

What ya think?
I'm just worried that the support will be uneven...I'm anwering my own questions. :lol:

Let me know your thoughts. Thx

Ok to be perfectly honest with you Q both would probably hold the tank. However, only if it were empty.

Remember water 8.8 lbs per gallon plus sand and rock weight and then the weight of skimmers and filters and powerheads and such after all of that I would say don't chance it buy a stand for it.

 

[Quang]

Yea.... I'm thinking of just getting the stand for it or build it.

 

[spykes]

get a TV stand from ikea that should hold up a tank
