hey mcr, maybe you should put some plywood underneath each tank to distribute the weight? it does look good.:)

That's a 120 gal. on top. You might want to reconsider. I have a friend that breeds african cichlids. He used the exact same rack. by the time he had all the tanks filled on the first row. The metal bent in the center putting pressure on the middle two tanks. After about 10 min. the middle tank cracked. So he put a piece of 3/4" ply wood underneath and that fixed the problem. Just a little fyi.

I love racks! You need to get one of those rolling ladders like at the library!

This isn't my first rack...shelves are rated at 600lbs per....and the other is 450...so this is a much stronger rack than the tried, tested example. Thank you for your input, though. :)
