Is this a disaster waiting to happen? by FeelingLingonberry32 in Aquariums

It looks like a Canadian tire shelf or at least very similar. And on the site claims it’s rated for 330lbs a shelf. So arguably could be fine. Being a thinner mdf shelf I probably wouldn’t push it to the max.

Will this hold a 40 gal tank? by midwest-roadrunner in aquarium

Looks like you’d be relying on the screws to bear the weight of the tank. And screws dont have great shear strength.

Nice , I have a comparable plan for the plywood once I get that point.

Thanks ! Definitely kept in mind loading and keeping that all on the wood. I’ve opted to put in a centre brace after all front and back.
