Lastly, Will this dresser support a 30 gallon high?

[FiShNoObIe88]

Sorry last question just trying to make sure I did the right thing by purchasing a 30 gallon and want to make sure the dresser's can support the weight. That is currently a 20 gallon sitting on that dresser and I would like to put a 30 gallon on it

A 30 gallon will weigh in at approx. 280 pounds with your water, gravel etc. Is that dresser pretty sturdy?

If it wasn't built as aquarium furniture...don't use it....

 

[Ramphonic]

agreed If it wasnt designed to carry weight who knows how long it would last

Other concern about a tall dresser like that one is even if it can hold the weight, top-heaviness could be an issue. I'm with Rbishop here.

bummer...... maybe a 30 gallon high is not a good idea

That doesn't look sturdy to me, it looks like it's bowing in the middle, but maybe that's an illusion. Can you open the top drawer without a problem? That will let you know for sure. I would at least run some plywood under it, but I wouldn't do more than a 15 gallon tank on a dresser.

The real question is, what would be your reaction to 30 gallons of water on your bedroom floor? worst case scenario.
