Am i worrying for no reason?

[Malt_Vinegar]

I currently have a 10 gallon, a monitor, amplifierm and a Large PC on my desk.

I want to have just a 20 gallon on it. Am i worrying about weight for no reason. There appears to be no problems with the current weight.

I presume im just being an old lady about it all

Has anyone ever had a desk collapse on them?

I read somewhere what a gallon of water weighs, but can't remember now...is it 7 lbs? I'd do some calculating first...desk looks a little crowded. Just my 2 cents...

Good luck!

Im not sure about that desk..... Each gallon of water weighs approx 10 pounds. Why dont you try adding weight equal to the weight of your other tank first to see if she'll hold....Great idea asking forum tho, with aquarium weights, its always a risk to use anything but a stand ( Idont use a stand, yet a dresser).

my 29 and 10 gal are on my dest with my comp and monitor so you should be fine, as long as it isnt bowing down it should be fine

cool room!

Thanks, it does the job

Yer, i will try some tests to see if it will hold


I know its crowded, but i have lots of stuff and a small room

1 litre = 1 kilogram

wow and i thought my pc desk was cluttered,nice looking tank though.
Is it a glass desk you have there,i'd be a bit worried putting too much weight on glass, that tank will weigh in excess of 300lb

Aww poop, now I want a tank on my PC desk

That must be so relaxing while on your PC

that tank will weigh in excess of 300lb

errm not quite a 10 US gallon tank weighs around 86 pounds, IMO its nothing to worry about, a large TV weighs more.

well just be careful, I had a mini reef 15 gallon going a few years back and my set up looked similar to yours and some how the friggin desk collapsed saddly I lost all but an anenome and a fish that both fell into water pockets. i took them to a friends house who had salt water where both animals lived for a few years. I never went back to salt water again. I was a little broken hearted on that one...
