Bookcases/shelves

[ileopard]

Does anyone know of a shelf that will be able to handle a 20 gallon tank, a 10 gallon tank on one shelf and 2 10 gallon tanks on each other shelf? If the shelf is big in width, I would prefer putting 3 tanks on one shelf.

The IKEA ones I saw seem to have a maximum weight around 60 lbs. And a 10 gallon tank is something like 85 lbs.

Look into gorilla racks Sold at Home Depot, Menards, or other such stores. People load these up with rows of tanks, your 10's & 20's should be no problem.

Thanks. I'll probably get 2 of them. One for meds and the brine shrimp hatchery, and another for tanks.

Regular bookcases are fine for a few small tanks, like betta tanks, per shelf, as the tanks are probably much lighter than their equivalent in books (well, for me at least).
