randy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you are unsure of this, you could cut a chunk of plywood the same size as the bottom of the tank and place it inder the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 what size tank is it? I've had 10-20gallons hang a bit(about an inch) off the edge of my stand without any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 IMHO I would think it will be ok not much of an overhang (speaking of overhang reminds me of new years day!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boom Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Its PROBABLY ok. But having said that, if it were me, I'd get some plywood cut, painted and put underneath it to support the whole bottom. I've read too many horror stories of tanks bursting and I wouldn't take the chance. Boom :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I had a similar problem on my 33g. It held for 2 years, before i couldn't stand to see it hanging anymore so i got a piece of plywood cut. No more problems =] . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2hot2wheels Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Your better to be safe rather than sorry. I would put a piece of plywood underneath it. If you don't have the materials or equipment to do it. A HOME DEPOT or RONA will be able to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
