Should be sweet man, but those racks scare me. You sure they can safely hold all that weight? I'd hate to come home to a collapsed rack full of 3 ruined tanks one day.

that rack is rated for 320# per shelf...
I figure a full 20 is about half of that...
 
Is that rack made for aquariums? That seems like a lot of weight for something that may not be designed to handle it. Also, the tall/thin combo looks like a tipping hazard.

If you figure 8-10 pounds a gallon, you're looking at 480-600 pounds.

water is 8# per gallon. 20 gallons would be 160# plus the tank, and the gravel & plants might put it at 200#

The rack is rated at 300# per shelf. thats another 100# per shelf than its current load. I had a 37 gal tank in one of these shelves for nearly a year with no problems, and I dont anticipate any with these 20's
 
I can't wait for the shrimpire to unfold!!! Looking really nice Zigman!!! You gotta get those 40s up man!!

I think the 20g is THE perfect size tank.
