Weight Limit For Hob Stuff?

[Demm]

hello all!
been a while since I posted!

I still have my 55g tank. I have a quick question. I have had a hang on back refugium for about a year now that's been just sitting there cause I'm afraid to put it on...the dimentions of is is about 24w x 12h x 6 or 8d (in inches).

currently I have a remora pro skimmer and also an aquastep uv sterilizer (the bigger model...150 I think?).

ok so now my question is, is there a weight limit for the hang on back stuff? I'm afraid to put that refigium on the back cause I don't want the back of tank to break or fall off. would I be able to safely put the refigium on the back? or should I support it with something from underneath?

thanks for your time!

If it's a standard 55g aquarium with center bracing across the top you should be fine . That center brace will take care of the water weight of the refugium

so i'm able to put all 3 (the skimmer, uv ster AND refigium) on the back and still be fine? or did you mean only the refugium?

thanks for the response ski!

Well the other two are very light in comparison. Truthfully you should be fine
