    It looks good, are you sure that shelf system will hold the weight? If I remember correctly, that has load bearing screws in each corner. It wouldnt take much for all that to be on the floor. You're looking at over 600lbs of water alone on that.

    Nice job, I love my 33 long frag tank.

    Those look like the shelves I have at work. Depending on which model it is the capacity is 600 to 1500 lbs per shelf. Each tank and water alone weigh about 320 LBS which means they are more than enough to carry those tanks.

    Dngspot! One of the true prevailing KINGS of DIY!! Nice work! I always love to see what you've built.

    Has your wife yet shown you what you did wrong?
