The counter is 140 cm long and 47 cm deep. The tank is 120 cm long and 40 cm deepI have ordered a fluvel Roma 240. Will my sideboard be strong enough to safely carry the tank/water and all the bits and bobs
id say its fine if its very hard wood and the area is wider than the area of the tank's bottomI have ordered a fluvel Roma 240. Will my sideboard be strong enough to safely carry the tank/water and all the bits and bobs
What you need to bare in mind here is that when a tanks empty it weighs very little once substrate plants decorations water etc go in it weights 5 times or more what it did when empty
You want to make sure the cabinet has been treated with something to make sure water can’t penatrate the wood and rot it out too
Sometimes life is just a pain in the preferably a.Before you do anything, please make sure that you read the small print.
New aquariums have warranties lasting two years average. The warranty is void if the correct stand/cabinet is not used and anything happens to the aquarium leading to a failure.
Home contents insurance will likely NOT cover damage from a failed aquarium if it is on household furniture and not on the appropriate manufactured stand
So read the policy notes first and if in doubt, call the insurer before doing anything. I got caught that way and it was extremely expensive
Thanks....what sort of mat would you recommend between the tank and the sideboard....a yoga matI have ordered a fluvel Roma 240. Will my sideboard be strong enough to safely carry the tank/water and all the bits and bobs
I‘m too lazy to do the conversions. What‘s the weight of the tank & water? I have a 90 G tank that weighs 160 pds empty and now ~800 pds. filled. My guess is your sideboard is as sturdy as the homemade stand mine is on.I have ordered a fluvel Roma 240. Will my sideboard be strong enough to safely carry the tank/water and all the bits and bobs
get 3 adults to sit on the sideboard. if it sags or moves, then it is not suitable.
