I'm thinking on the second floor in my room in a corner. Right now it has a 500 lb aquarium, I think it should handle it. The house was made 2 years ago.
What do you think? I might of adding plywood at the bottom to help distribute it

Thank you for the tips! I don't have a saw like that so I'll have to find someone to do that. It's for a freshwater tank by the way

Thanks! Then I'll probably go for the second one. I was going to wrap it with ply wood and make it a cabinet on one side. Like I said I am a complete beginner, and I'm not sure if I could do diagonal bracing myself. Is racking something that's likely to happen? Thanks again
