I'm not very familiar with aquariums, but is the position assumed in this way?
I got a new 55-gallon All-Glass aquarium. I bought with a base of wood and foliage. Ok, question … The stand is basically a cabinet. For a 55 gallon full of water, which will be very heavy. It is a safe design to leave the stand completely hollow? The only thing supporting the tank is around the perimiter fund. Could not the only fund collapse?
You are in foot should be fine, as Soop said, most stores will not sell a stand that would not work for the tank. Let me give some examples here Oh, what 're looking at from an engineering prespecitve. I asked a question in the engineering and work with three solar engineers who are certified in structural analysis and my answers he received were outstanding and whites. First look at the weight of the water itself. Water weighs 8.333 pounds per gallon. Times 55 is approximately 457 pounds the amount of water, plus the weight of the tank, we estimate that about 75 pounds. Therefore, alltogeather force exerted on the supporting surface that is 525 pounds, divided in four foot area. It is about 10 to 11 pounds per square inch of pressure on the stand, which should not be too stressful on that surface. Distrubuted same weight that in a second floor if you are above, and will not even require that the place near a bearing wall. Your posture should be strong and surprise me if it collapsed. You has nothing to worry about your stand or collapse the floor. If indeed we are not convinced, I put a tank of 180 liters, by weight of the soil is 2250 pounds, and a half inch wood over 6 '3 "is like less than 20 pounds per square inch on the floor and I am on the second floor." There was nothing in me collapse yet:) If you need more help you can get better answers in cycling.com dry or simply use the link in my profile. JV
