Tables, tanks, and egg crate

[OhNo123]

If you are asking if you could use eggcrate as a structural part of you aquarium stand, i would say absolutely not.. If the top wood on the stand looks questionable, replace the wood, and add a new piece (of wood) to the top of it. I would never use it between the tank and stand as any type of support.

I will tell him that, but he also asked about putting a 20g long on his fireplace. He says he never uses it anyway and it looks stable.

Eggcrate is too brittle to be used as any type of support outside the tank. Get a piece of plywood or something.

A fish tank on is mantle? That's also a bad idea.

freshwater is about 8# per gallon.. Keep that in mind. Also the weight of the tank, plus and gravel, sand ect...
