can this hold my 20 gallon full of water?

my grandpa could do any moderations to it. strengthening the back and such. he actually made the stand that holds my 29 gallon and 5 gallon.

The only thing that would worry me about that would be the legs and how the whole dresser is elevated on top of them.

Seems risky to me. I wouldn't do it.

anyway to help the legs out? the legs are longer then they look bc they go up until the last drawe before the weird drawer.

I wouldn't trust it since it doesn't look like there is anything in the middle to hold the tank. Looks like the middle could easily crack with a 200lb tank.

darn. would it hold a 10 gallon?

Probably, but wouldn't risk it since there is no middle part to hold the tank. It might bend in the middle.

well i have a place i can put the 10 gallon. i have a custom built stand that will hold it underneath. the only bad thing is trying to do water changes with it so close to the ground, but with it being my killifish tank i can probably just take a bowl and scoop the water out, but then i dont know where to put my quarentine when im using it. UGH!. also my desk is holding 2 10's right now does it look like its good enough to hold 20 gallons?

made out of real wood also

Think of it this way, dude... with all the time, effort, thought and money that goes into a tank; do you really want to risk it by putting it on something that was never meant to hold that much weight over a long period of time? Seems to me to make better sense to ask your grandfather to build you another stand.

yea i guess ill do that and look on craigslist and LFS for a cheap stand.
