patrick Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I would go with the thicker glass I had two 33g tanks with center brace I always had trouble catching the fish in those tanks. So I went with 10mm all around and no center brace. A little bit overkill with 10mm maybe but I will be able to sleep good at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayfong Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I have the "Gorilla" shelves. You'll want to either seal the particle board, cover it well with thick plastic or replace it with real wood. I had a HOB filter overflow and the water leaked under the tank. The shelf folded and I almost had a huge disaster. I just happened to have noticed the leaning water line in time. Where did you get the shelves from? Home Depot. They are 36" wide and 18" deep I believe. I set them up as two stands for 4 tanks. #x 25 and one 65gal. I have 10" of clearance. This gives space for a lid/lights on each tank and the ability to reach the HOB filters for maintenance. Do you have a pic of the rack? How much did you pay for it? I didn't see any on home depot's website although I did see them on Totem's website. They are going for $75.00 right now, regular $89.00. That is for the 36X18X72 I think. I might have to pick me up and start moving my tanks closer together. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeS Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Gorilla stands at Costco are cheaper than Home Depot. 48*18*72 around 60-65$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller_fan Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I went to Rona to pick up some shelving units (36" x 18" x 72") because I didn't know about Costco (and I don't have a Costco card - ) They cost a little more but I got them because each shelf is rated to hold 1500 lbs.
