Is My Desk Strong Enough

[grimmy]

my desk is made out of cherry wood about 2 inches thick is that strong enogh to put a 29 or 30 gallon on it

 

[afishdude]

whats the demensions of the desk? length, width, hight.

whats the demensions of the tank? lenth and width.

 

[grimmy]

it is 48x15x30

 

[afishdude]

and whats the size of the tank? i need to compair sizes.

 

[grimmy]

29 gal 30x12x18 or a 30 gal 36x14x14

 

[afishdude]

the 30g would be too wide, the 29 would fit perfectly and the desk would definatly hold it.

 

[grimmy]

ok

 

[demonmagus]

what kind of desk is it? a simple diagram of the supports would be good as well, my computer desk is 4 by 2, but it couldn't hold a small puddle

Do you still have the instructions or information about the desk? It might tell of maximum whieght.

My desk is about this size too! I had the same question. I only have a 10 gal on it.

 

[grimmy]

something like this http/www.furnitureandfurniture.net/index...amp;ProdID=2274 but a little bit bigger and thicker

 

[grimmy]

so is it

 

[Musho3210]

hmm, any chance you could do a weight test somehow?

 

[grimmy]

idk? well right now its holdin a 10 gal and a 20 long snake tank

how much do you weigh? 29-30 gallons would be about 300 pounds? (overeestmating xD)
you can try like going on top of it, and jumping. To be on the safe side, you can always add braces so that it doenst lean over and collapse.
