Valek Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Can anyone recommend a good shelving unit that can hold at least 4 ten gal tanks. It has to look good otherwise my wife won't let me put it in the living room 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Take a look at some of the oak cabinets at Home Depot and Lowe's, you can easily put a piece of nice 3/4" plywood on top to make a nice looking stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valek Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 How about the wire shelving units they sell? They're rated at 250lbs per shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I would not do the wire shelving units. I had a metal rack from lowes rated for 2000 lbs(500 each shelf). It collapsed with 3 10g tanks on 2 shelves. I now have a metal shelving unit rated for 2000 lbs per shelf and still dont trust it. I would build a wooden one if you can.

Valek Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I went with this one, I'm only putting one tank per shelf so it should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenster Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Nice choice! These are still fairly new from Gladiator (less than a year) and haven't made their way up to Canada yet. I would have been all over these if they were available but got the ULINE ones instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
