BooUrns! Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 For three 4 ft tanks.... You're loading a lot of weight onto wood framing. I'm sure if properly supported, there should be no problems. For peace of mind, I opted to purchase some steel pallet racking at auction. Takes away the issue of whether your framing will hold or not. I'm sure I saw some more of it at Garry Hanna auctions here in Edmonton. It seems to turn up in local industrial auctions quite frequently.

Toirtis Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Jim, the CAS treasurer, is using Commander industrial shelving....works very well for him, and he has about 80 gallons on each shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlyriser Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Jim, the CAS treasurer, is using Commander industrial shelving....works very well for him, and he has about 80 gallons on each shelf. I recently picked up the racking from the west edmonton mall P.J's pet centre. The store was being relocated to another spot, and no longer need the racking. I got eight feet, with four possible shelves (I only use three). On the middle tank I have more than a hundred fifty pounds.. But think of a pet store.. it's what they use and it works.

earlyriser Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I just noticed my own error a few posts back. On my three shelf rack I have a ninety and a fifty-five, about 150 gallons not pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
