Computer Desk

Hi, I just wondered if a standard computer desk would hold they weight of a 60Litre aquarium, As Im buying a largish computer desk and want to know how big a fish tank It would hold...

A 60litre aquarium would be way heavier than your average pc+monitor printer etc. a litre of water weighs 1 kg so a 60 litre tank would weight 60 kilos plus the tank and any decor rocks gravel etc. Could be as much as 70kg+. If not sure I would fill the tank slowly while it's sat on the desk and just watch very carefully for any bowing or weakening of the joints.

Is the desk sturdy (If it has 4 spindly legs then no-way)You could simulate the weight of the tank (that way you will just lose your desk, not your tank) I wouldn't even really want to try.

Have I miscalculated something here. We're talking about 130 lbs max...correct? If that's the case any decent piece of furniture should hold that.
