Hello
I'm building a bookcase which incorporates a 90 litre (24 [american] gallon) tank with dimensions: 600 x 300 x 500 mm . I have callulated the total weight to be supported, including water, frame, glass and gravel, to be 117 kg. Can anyone advise whether this weight can be supported by a saligna hardwood shelf ( a type of eucalyptus) 38 mm thick, 305 mm deep and spanning 718 mm from cleat to cleat? or will this require additional intermediary support?
